The purpose of the Bellingham Highland Games Association is to promote and preserve traditional Scottish Highland culture. The major way we do this is through the annual Bellingham Scottish Highland Games that includes competition in piping, drumming, dancing, and athletics. Presenting Clan information, Fiddle & Harp performances, Scottish Country Dancing and more. All set into a Country Fair type atmosphere for the whole family.
The first Games were held in 1961 at Battersby Field in Bellingham. In the 1980's we moved to Hovander Homestead Park one of the most beautiful of the Whatcom County Parks. Attendance has grown in participants and spectators, and the quality of our cultural displays and the excellence of our competition has just gotten better to the point that we are a two day event.
With much to see and do you'll have great fun with on field camping as well as delicious Scottish foods and vendor booths galore. These are just some of the wonderful sights, sounds and events that wait for you at the Bellingham Highland games held the first full weekend in June every year.
Who I'd like to meet:
Everyone and anyone from age 0 to 100. Scottish Irish Celtic or other are all welcome. Come out to the games this year and see what's in store!
Got some great video from the games that I will put on my web site soon!
May the road rise to
meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
