The experience
What's special
The Dunedin Highland Games & Festival is promoted as the only Scottish Highland Games in Florida, held each April in Highlander Park in Dunedin near the Gulf coast. The one-day Scottish festival packs world-class piping, elite heavy athletics and Highland dance into a waterfront setting, with pipe bands, a noon Parade of Clans, sheep dogs, live Celtic music, Scottish food and an adjoining craft beer festival
What people love
First-time visitors describe an amazing time exploring their family heritage, and reviewers praise the large, easy-to-access grounds and entertaining bands. The most common gripe has been long food lines and a wish for more food vendors
Last time around
