The experience
What's special
The Southern Ky Highland Games is a free single-day celebration of Scottish heritage in Park City, Kentucky, held at Bell's Tavern Park and launched in 2025 by a local non-profit. The day brings traditional Highland Games such as the caber toss, sheaf toss, hammer throw and tug of war together with Scottish clans, Celtic music, craft and food vendors and family activities
Last time around (2026)
The second annual games were held May 30, 2026 at Bell's Tavern Park in Park City, opening with a ceremony and Calling of the Clans led by a piper and honoring the Clan Bell Society, followed by Highland athletics, a tug of war, Celtic music at the entertainment pavilion and children's activities
The games
Heavy athletics
The games feature traditional Highland heavy events including the caber toss, sheaf toss, hammer throw and a tug of war
Pipe bands & Highland dance
A solo piper leads the opening ceremony, the Calling of the Clans and the closing ceremony, and the program has featured Highland dancers rather than massed pipe bands
Clans & genealogy
Scottish clan societies gather at the games with clan registration and a Calling of the Clans on the field, and the 2026 opening ceremony honored the Clan Bell Society
Taking part
The single-day event pairs the games with a Celtic music pavilion, craft and food vendors, children's activities and a children's tug of war, and a meet-and-greet with a local celebrity mascot
