The Games

Forres Highland Games take place every year in July in the magnificent setting of Grant Park, Forres.

The Forres Highland Games day commences with a procession from the Forres & District Pipe Band up Forres High Street into our Grant Park arena where the Games’ Flag is raised. The day follows with a spectacular show of Scottish tradition, sport and culture with Highland Dancing, Track and Field, Heavy Events, Tug ‘o’ War, Solo Piping and many more disciplines on display.



Unique to the Forres Games is the Message Bike Race, where spectators can turn participant and race the field on an old traditional message bike in hope of lifting a winners trophy.
