Grandfather Mountain Highland Games

Linville, North Carolina · MacRae Meadows, Grandfather Mountain, Linville · 8–11 Jul 2027

Four July days in a meadow a mile up a Blue Ridge mountain: the largest clan gathering in American Highland games, with athletics, piping championships and clan tents as far as the field runs.

The games began in 1956, modelled on the Braemar Gathering, and the setting does half the work: MacRae Meadows sits on the flank of Grandfather Mountain, and the sound of the massed bands carries off the ridges. Around the athletics there are sheepdog demonstrations, Highland dancing, fiddle and harp competitions and a Celtic music programme.

The organisers note that the detailed 2027 schedule is still being finalised; the dates themselves are set. Book accommodation in the Linville and Banner Elk area early, because the mountain fills.
