Aberdeen Highland Games

The Aberdeen Highland Games take place over two days and one night and is staged the first weekend in July each year. This year they will be held on the weekend of Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 July 2012. It is the final event of Scottish Australia Heritage Council's Heritage Week. Heritage Week commences in Sydney and concludes at Aberdeen.

During the two day event more than 23 events take place at three venues with stalls providing food and Celtic displays all of which represent traditional Celtic culture and recreation. The Games are a gathering together from Sydney and regional New South Wales of bands, Clans, dancers, heavy events and state and interstate tug-of-war teams to celebrate the Celtic history of the Upper Hunter.

For the past three years a display team from Australia's Federation Guard have enthralled spectators with their precision drill.

The 2012 Aberdeen Highland Games promises to be better than ever.
