Join us for the 2nd Annual Nacogdoches Scottish Highland Games and Festival! This family-friendly celebration of Scottish heritage brings together traditional heavy athletic competitions, bagpipes, highland dance, and live music. Explore the Clan Tents to discover your heritage, browse unique local vendors, and enjoy a variety of food and entertainment.

Be sure to stop by the American Legion Post 86 booth!

We’ll be out there all day connecting with the community—come say hi, learn about our upcoming programs, and see how we’re supporting our local veterans.

This event is hosted by the East Texas Scottish Irish Fellowship, with proceeds benefiting our local Volunteer Fire Departments. Free parking is available at the Expo Center.
