Let the games begin!
The second annual Myrtle Beach Highland Games & Heritage Festival is Friday and Saturday, March 24-25, at Grand Park Athletic Complex.
From kilts to contests and clans to cabers, you’ll find it at the Myrtle Beach Highland games. This event is a fundraiser for the Myrtle Beach Regional Pipe Band, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and the Horry County Firefighter Relief Fund.
Highland Games are popular throughout the Carolinas and are renowned for their outstanding entertainment, top Scottish musicians, professional athletes, and champion bagpipe and drum bands from all over the Southeast. A variety of authentic food, merchandise, souvenirs and beverages from Scotland and Great Britain will be available for purchase.
Opening ceremonies will feature a Mass Pipe Band Performance, a Parade of Tartans, the March of the Clans and Societies, as well as the national anthems of Scotland, Ireland, Canada and the United States.
