The experience
What's special
The Eugene Scottish Festival is a one-day celebration of Scottish and Celtic heritage at the Irving Grange in Eugene, Oregon, held each spring in the South Willamette Valley. The day brings Highland Games demonstrations and the caber toss, the local Eugene Highlanders pipe and drum band and solo bagpiping, ceilidh and country dancing, clan tents for tracing Scottish roots, and a full lineup of Celtic music, alongside a Scottish tea room, haggis and scotch eggs, and a festival-favorite Dog Parade
What people love
Regulars value the festival's welcoming, community feel and its roster of local Celtic bands, while some longtime Highland Games fans note they wish it were a larger, full games rather than a demonstration event
Last time around (2026)
The most recent edition took place on May 30, 2026 at the Irving Grange, drawing Eugene's Scottish community together for music, food and heritage, with Highland Games demonstrations and, new that year, the festival's first haggis eating contest
The games
Heavy athletics
The festival features Highland Games heavy-athletics demonstrations, including the caber toss, presented as showcases rather than a full sanctioned competition
Pipe bands & Highland dance
The local Eugene Highlanders pipe and drum band play throughout the day, joined by solo piper Heidi the Lone Piper, with ceilidh and country dancers performing in the dance hall
Clans & genealogy
Clan tents let visitors explore their lineage and connect with their Scottish roots
Taking part
Beyond the field, the day offers live Celtic music from local favorites such as the Katie Jane Band and Possibly Irish, working sheepdog herding demonstrations, a children's area and a festival-favorite Dog Parade, a Scottish tea room, an artisan market, and Scottish fare including haggis, bangers and scotch eggs, with a new haggis eating contest introduced for 2026
