2025 Scottish Festival & Highland Games

Chicago Scots welcomes everyone to the 2025 Scottish Festival & Highland Games! 

Attendees are invited to join the festivities at the DuPage Event Center & Fairgrounds for the 39th Annual Scottish Festival & Highland Games. This 2-day, outdoor family-friendly event offers a chance to explore Scottish culture without the need for a plane ticket. The festival features an array of activities and attractions, including the largest bagpiping championship in North America, the iconic caber toss, highland dancing, kids activities (such as a Scottish petting zoo), Scottish genealogy and history, a classic British car show, dogs of Scotland, and a marketplace where visitors can purchase nearly anything Scottish—kilts, candy, cuddly toys, jewelry, soccer jerseys, beer, music, almost anything tartan, and, of course, haggis! Additionally, all proceeds benefit Caledonia Senior Living & Memory Care, the principal charity of Chicago Scots, the oldest not-for-profit in Illinois.
