30th ANNUAL SCOTTISH GAMES & FESTIVAL The family-friendly event will be held at the Clay County Fairgrounds located at 2497 State Road 16 West in Green Cove Springs, about 30 miles south of downtown Jacksonville.
The festival runs from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. – with additional entertainment planned until 9 p.m. Parking is free.
Admission is $20 in advance and $25 at the gate the day of the event. Children 5 and under are admitted for free.
Each year residents of Northeast Florida and the surrounding areas gather and enjoy the bagpipe and drumming competitions, Highland dancing and Tartan parade, where Scottish Descendants march with the symbol of their clan to open the festival. A highlight of the games is the athletic competition, where individuals compete against other participants and themselves, engaging in such challenges as the very popular “caber toss”, the hammer throw, weight for height, sheaf toss and stone throw.
The Games continue to grow and reflect the deep connections and effects the Scots and their descendants have had on the United States as well as Northeast Florida in particular. The Northeast Florida Games & Festival support several very special charities in the Northeast Florida area.
