The experience
What's special
The Central Florida Scottish Highland Games are held each January at Central Winds Park in Winter Springs, Florida, organized by the Scottish-American Society of Central Florida. The two-day Scottish festival draws thousands for traditional Highland heavy athletics such as caber tossing, Highland dancing, bagpipes and fife and drum, whisky tasting, Celtic artisans and Scottish food
What people love
Regular visitors describe it as a lot of fun and single out the strength games like caber tossing and the pipes. Some reviewers note a boozy, adult-leaning atmosphere that may not suit younger children, and first-timers are warned to expect noise and large crowds
