Halifax Highland Games and Scottish Festival

Description The federation that organizes the Halifax Highland Games and Scottish Festival was founded to stimulate interest in Scottish culture and connections and improvements in communication among the various Clan Societies in Nova Scotia. A highlight of the weekend with its Scottish flavour will be a reenactment of the 78th Highland Regiment of Foot and the 3rd Brigade, Royal Artillery. For almost 25 years, the historical demonstration has drawn visitors from Halifax and across Canada. The program includes daily firings of the noon gun, manoeuvres by infantry detachments dressed in 19th-century uniforms, bagpipe concerts, guided tours, a heavyweights competition and lots more.
