The Chicago Scots are excited to announce the relocation of the 39th Annual Scottish Festival & Highland Games to their home at the DuPage County Fairgrounds! Mark your calendars for June 13 and 14, 2025, as we prepare for a memorable celebration of Scottish culture, tradition, skill and athleticism.

The Scottish Festival & Highland Games has activities and attractions for everyone – from the Caber Toss to Highland Dancing to the Dogs of Scotland. This family-friendly outdoor event is a chance to explore Scottish culture without buying a plane ticket. Plus, all proceeds benefit the Chicago Scots and Caledonia Senior Living & Memory Care.

Chicago Scots (The Illinois Saint Andrew Society) is the oldest not-for-profit in Illinois, founded in 1845, proud to nourish Scottish identity through service, fellowship and celebration of Scottish culture in order to support their principal charity, Caledonia Senior Living & Memory Care.
