Bienvenue! Welcome! Fàilte! Pjila’si!
Since 1981, the New Brunswick Highland Games have been working to advance knowledge of the Scottish / Celtic culture and heritage in New Brunswick.
The NB Highland Games Festival celebrates and shares knowledge of the culture and heritage in an inclusive manner — whether visitors are of Scottish descent or simply wish to learn about and participate in this vibrant culture.
We offer workshops, entertainment, competitions and provide visitors an opportunity to learn more about Scottish heritage.

Live Music at Officers’ Square
In 2025, we brought the Highland Games to downtown Fredericton with a landmark Officers’ Square concert featuring Alan Doyle and 3,500+ attendees.
In 2026, we’re turning it up with two nights of live music:
Friday Night: Mary Frances Leahy & Jimmy Rankin
Saturday Night: Vishtèn, The Stanfields & Joel Plaskett Emergency

Payment Information
For your convenience, credit and debit are encouraged throughout the festival. Please note that Officers’ Square operates as a cashless venue. While some vendors in other areas may accept cash, there is no ATM on site—so we recommend bringing a card.
Bring the Games Home With You
Take a piece of the Highlands with you. Browse tartan, artisan crafts, and Celtic-inspired goods from our vendors, plus official festival merchandise available on site at the Information & Souvenirs tent.
