The experience
What's special
The Portland Highland Games are a one-day Scottish festival and Highland Games with a tradition of more than 70 years, held each June in the Portland, Oregon area. For 2026 the games moved to the Washington County Fairgrounds in Hillsboro, bringing heart-pounding heavy athletics, pipe bands and stirring drums, Highland dancing, a fiddle competition, Scottish clans and genealogy, whisky tastings and the crowd-favorite Kilted Mile
