Rhode Island Scottish Highland Festival

 
This May, the tradition of the Highland Games comes alive at the Washington County Fair Grounds in Richmond, Rhode Island.  Amateur Scottish athletic competitions will again be featured in our program. You will see the caber toss, the 56-pound weight thrown for height, the Scottish hammer, and other events.

You can research your ancestry at the clan tents and societies. Scottish food is offered, including fish & chips, meat pies, bridies, & shortbread. Vendors bring a wide variety of goods from Scotland. A variety of Scottish entertainers are scheduled throughout the day.  The Festival is open to the general public and is an event for the entire family....even the children have their own activities!
