I have been going since they started it! It was an amazing experience for anyone! It's family-friendly and super fun for everybody. This is a must go. I personally enjoy more than the fair, even if both are good. Please, Ventura, always keep the highland games going! There are some wonderful vendors. Go support them! I love the bagpipe bands and go check out the celtic caterer. One of my favorites is his cooking presentations. The highland games are fantastic where they throw the cabor toss. Also, they have the sheep dogs presentation, which are super cool. They have some of the best fish and chips you will ever have. 😁 go go! Come visit even if it's your first time! It's a very welcoming and chill and fun event! It's a great sermon on Sunday morning, but always be there both day's Saturday and Sunday at noon for the opening event or bagpipes...

The Lowry family and friends who put it all together should...

Big and strong men and women competing in events that are awesome to watch. Dog demonstrations and incredibly nice people. All the clans have a booth and you can find your roots. This event was a blast. I am going back this year and buy a dress kilt. I hope I look as handsome as all...
