Canmore Highland Games

September brings back the full experience of Celtic culture at Centennial Park in Canmore, so you’ll want to witness the colors of the tartans and the thrill of the pipes at the annual Canmore Highland Games. Here’s how you can awaken your inner Scot with some big fun – the Taste of the Highlands, the Canmore Highland Games, and the Canmore Ceilidh, all held beneath the scenic peaks of the Rockies on Labour Day weekend. Sip the spirits, mead, and ale at the Taste of the Highlands. Bring the whole family for the Highland Games – visit the clans, see the heavy sports, shop the Celtic market, watch the sheepdogs at work, observe the intense competitions of highland dancing and piping and drumming, enliven your palate with a Scotch tasting, sample the foods available, quench your thirst while enjoying live Celtic music in the beer garden, and discover the British automobiles on show. Let loose and expose your inner Scot at the Canmore Ceilidh – while celebrating kitchen-party style with traditional music and dance.
