Kincardine Scottish Festival & Highland Games

A hot day, but still had a good time. Lots to see, wonderful band competition from various communities. Makes me want to see the Cambridge one in 2wks

My family attends Kincardine Scottish Festival every year, it's our favourite one in Ontario. Held in the park downtown, you're able to enjoy everything the Festival has to offer and then tour the lovely town center. The lake is stunning in the background. There's plenty to see and do this weekend.

My family came to the Kincardine Scottish festival for the first time in awhile.We enjoyed the pipers, parade & most of the muscial entertainment but$65.00 for a pass into the park on Saturday was exhorbitant. My granddaughter just wanted to go in to see the vendors and purchase a Tshirt!!! There should be something set up that people can go into the vendors and not have to pay to do this.

Good fun, food and entertainment. I would suggest to either let people know ahead of time to bring chairs or to have chairs for rent there, as seating wasn't the best.

Well organized. Seating available for spectators. Lots of shade. Did have trouble finding heavy athletics.

We have the pleasure of.being a merchant at this festival. Enjoy a weekend of Scottish heritage and a wide assortment of events. The band's the event brings in are excellent,.ranging from local to across the pond. We really enjoyed the Mudmen, Screaming Orphans and Madison Violet!

Love watching the pipe band play and love that you can march with them in the parade. Our youngest actually would play his drums while watching and Marc ing with them.

Very disappointed with the Highland in Kincardine, 2 food vendors, the games were very inconvenient for handicap, one golf cart for transportation. The volunteers were not very knowledgeable as to the parade, and how to get to the games which we didn’t bother attending. Small town of Embro’s games put Kincardine to shame.

If you've never been to the Kincardine 'Gathering of the Bands' which takes place at the end of August, then I'd highly recommend you do go! The music is incredible. The park setting (Victoria Park) where the band-shell is, is the focal point of the day with many bands from all over Ontario performing there. Bring a lawn chair, sit and relax and enjoy the all day, all you can eat hot dog and corn cobs as well as the park being licenced for the day as well. Then after the 'show' is over, there is a massed band parade down the main street of Kincardine. Unlike any other parade, in this parade, the people watching join the march down the street following the pipes and drums! Incredible! Go, enjoy, you'll love it!

Pipe bands were great. Hot dogs and corn were nice in the park
