The Northeast Florida Scottish Games & Festival brings a “Wee Bit o’ Scotland” to the greater Jacksonville area each February, offering guests the chance to experience the rich history, culture, and traditions of Scotland without leaving the country. Rooted in centuries-old Highland Games that once prepared warriors for battle, the festival features thrilling athletic competitions, stirring pipe and drum performances, vibrant clan displays, and traditional Scottish fare. Visitors can explore their ancestry with genealogy experts, learn the meaning behind tartans and the historic clan system, meet Scottish animals, and shop for authentic kilts and goods from specialty vendors. From the pageantry of the opening ceremonies to the sweeping traditions that trace back to ancient dynasties, the Games provide a full day of heritage, community, and celebration at the Clay County Fairgrounds in Green Cove Springs.
