The 60th Anniversary of the Games - Saturday, July 21st, 2012

Mark your calendars now, so that you will not miss the 60th Anniversary of the Portland Highland Games on Saturday, July 21, 2012. The piobaireachd solo competitions are the previous evening, Friday, the 20th.

Once again we will bring you world-class pipe bands, celtic entertainment, top competition in heavy athletics, Highland dancing, solo fiddling, piping and drumming competitions. The kilted mile run, sheepdog demonstrations, children's games and activities, MacTarnahan Memorial Challenge caber toss, and the parade of massed bands are always among the favorites. Throughout the day browse the booths to choose your special wares and souvenirs or enjoy your Highland foods and beers while watching the great celtic entertainment. At the end of the day, mingle with the competitors and perhaps enjoy a taste of some fine whiskies while unwinding from the days activities at the Ceilidh.

Much more is in the works for the 60th anniversary! We plan to bring back the Tug-of-War, have a Fun Run for the kids and have a display to celebrate the past 60 years of history. The ever-popular raffle to win a Vacation for Two to Scotland will again be available. Who knows - we might even have a birthday cake!

Come see and join us in celebration!
