The experience
What's special
The Wisconsin Highland Games take over the Waukesha County Expo Center each Labor Day weekend, produced by the nonprofit Wisconsin Scottish, Inc. to celebrate the culture of the British Isles. Heavy athletics and the caber toss share the grounds with pipe and drum competitions, Highland dance, a Clan Area, battle axe throwing and longbow archery, herding dogs, a Celtic baking showdown, a living-history area and Young's Pub
What people love
Longtime visitors call it a fun, friendly event and a favorite among Midwest Highland Games, singling out the caber toss, massed pipe bands, axe throwing and archery, and Celtic beer; some note the food and beer lines can get long and shade is limited
