Great venue if you like bagpipes, caber toss, and haggis! There are a lot of kiosks on site as well where you can buy aforementioned foods as well as daggers, kilts, and all other things Scottish and by extension, anything UK related. The opening and closing ceremonies feature ALL the pipe bands from across North America. This year, 1400 pipers and drummers closed the games. Most impressive. Besides the pipe band competition, there are also old school track events, dance competition, as well as musical entertainment. It's a very well set up festival. Totally worthwhile!

Very good experience with plenty "Scot-centric" things to see and do. There were a couple of things we wish we knew ahead of time. First, if you plan on spending the whole day, and at $30 per adult you probably want to, either spring for a grandstand seat or bring chairs to set up on the hill opposite the infield. Second, you are allowed to bring a cooler; food and drinks on site are unsurprisingly pricey. There are water refill stations available, which is much appreciated.

I am a loyal, returning guest, your after year to watch the mass bands play. Being of Scottish heritage or not makes no difference when attending this fantastic and extraordinarily large event, listening to the bagpipes drums and really taking in a lovely culture, it’s worth the trip no doubt. Thank you. See you next year.

Glengarry Ren Faire- An overall excellent experience! We only went for one day but we think next time we will take two days so we can experience everything. Knights, princesses, and magical vendors. Hope they come back again soon. Glengarry Highland Park- well maintained, beautiful, and has air conditioned buildings.

The games are awesome and are, in my opinion, the best bang for a buck as far as entertainment in the area. The fact that they are not crazy strict about chairs and where you stand is awesome … A great event

Wonderful place and wonderful people. Fairly accessible for walking around. Washrooms weren't the best but can't expect much from something so big with so many people. Food was great. Entertainment was great. Definitely wanna come back. Had so much fun! 🤩❤️🏴
