MAY 17 & 18, 2025

TOPAZ PARK, VICTORIA

The longest continually running Highland Games in North America, the 162nd Victoria Highland Games & Celtic Festival will take on May 17 and May 18 at Topaz Park.

Prior to the Games, on May 10, the Tartan Parade will leave Centennial Square at exactly 11 am and parade down Government Street to the Legislature Grounds.

A ceremony will be held where the highland fling will be danced, bagpipers and drummers will perform and the caber will be tossed. The Parade will involve local pipe bands, highland dancers, and heavy event athletes along with many members of local Scottish and Celtic groups.

Once again, the Highland Games will be hosting the International Heavy Events Challenge and Canadian Invitational Drum Major Championship, with a full line-up of current and past world and national champions. Simon Fraser University Pipe Band will attend, so you can witness the best pipe band in North America compete both days! Massed pipe band performances and Highland dancing on both Saturday and Sunday are must-see events.
