We are a dedicated group who believe in community and the preserving of our Scottish cultural heritage, as well as those of our sister Celtic nations, for the next generation.

Planning of the 2025 Games is about to begin. We need to strengthen the committee from within with new skill-set oriented volunteers.

 

New people = New Energy and New Ideas and we welcome yours.

What does Volunteering do for you?

Young or old, the benefits are many!

First of all, it’s one of the most rewarding things you can do. Even the smallest of tasks can bring a sense of acheivement. Trying something new helps you gain confidence. You will meet different kinds of people and make new friends. It’s a challenge to try something new. Being part of a community is being part of something outside of your friends and family. Regardless of your age, most volunteers HAVE FUN no matter what they are doing. Come along and have a great time with us!

Planning for and carrying out The Games each year is made possible by a variety of central New Yorkers who volunteer some of their time, knowledge and love of the Scottish & Celtic cultures to share with our community through our long-held traditional Scottish Games – to enjoy now and to ensure they continue for future generations.

Help us host & preserve this amazing event.

It’s a feast for the senses! The sights, the sounds, the smells, the energy in the air!

It’s difficult to compress into a few words all of the things you experience when you pass through our gates each year.

  • Strong men in kilts throwing heavy things
  • Strong women in kilts doing the same!
  • The Highland Dancers
  • The Pipers, Drummers, Pipe Bands & MASSED BANDS
  • The Clans
  • The Children’s Games
  • The Coos, Sheep & animal rearing
  • The Food
  • The Beer Tent
