Highland Games at Westerner Park
The official kick-off to Highland Season in central Alberta takes place at Red Deer’s Westerner Park this weekend.
On Saturday, June 23, it’s the 71st Annual Red Deer Highland Games where you can celebrate Celtic Heritage and be a Scot for a day!
Chairperson Jennifer Meyn says those who attend can expect to have a lot of fun.
“It’s about dancing, piping and drumming and ‘heavy’ competitions, as well as the food, drinks and entertainment,” explains Meyn. “It’s just to bring in a bit of Scottish heritage to our area. Highland Games have been all across Canada for several years and it’s just a way for people who are Scottish to enjoy a little bit of their culture.”
