The Fergus Scottish Festival and Highland Games has enjoyed tremendous success since its inception by Alex Robertson August 17th, 1946. The Festival began as a one-day event, and quickly grew in popularity and attendance, leading to the addition of the Friday night tattoo in 1988, and in 1991 evolved into an annual three-day event

The Festival exemplifies all things Scottish with a focus on the pillars of any Highland Games including heavy events, highland dancing, pipes and drums, clans and heritage.
