Where the spirit of the Highlands meets the shores of Lake Erie. The Kingsville Highland Games honour the rich Scottish traditions and Celtic heritage of Southern Ontario. As the only Highland Games in the Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent regions, this beloved festival blends 11th-century customs with modern community revelry.
