The experience
What's special
The Hawaiian Scottish Festival & Highland Games is the only Scottish Highland Games in Hawaii, staged in Honolulu each April by the Hawaiian Scottish Association. It blends island setting with Scottish tradition, pairing heavy athletics and a Highland Dance competition with bagpipes, a gathering of clans from Hawaii and the mainland, a Scotch tasting and swordplay demonstrations
Last time around
The most recent festival ran April 5 and 6, 2025 in Honolulu, with heavy athletics in Open Men's, Open Women's and Men's Masters classes, a Highland Dance competition, piping and Scottish Country dance. The 42nd anniversary festival has since been postponed to April 2027
