The Skagit Valley Highland Games & Celtic Festival is an annual event at the fairgrounds in Mount Vernon, WA. Held the second weekend of each July, this Festival attracts over 10,000 people yearly. We think of it as a kind of “Scottish 3-ring circus;’ with a wide range of activities for young and old alike.
The Skagit Valley Highland Games is part of an annual circuit of Scottish competitions in the Pacific Northwest and Lower Mainland of British Columbia. As such, the quality of performers in solo bagpiping and drumming competitions, bagpipe bands, fiddling, traditional Scottish athletics (the “heavy” events), and Scottish Highland dancing is exceptionally high.
