🏴 Albany Scottish Festival | August 15 Through 16 🏴 Hear the call of the Highlands at the Albany Scottish Festival & Highland Games, returning to Timber Linn Memorial Park from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on August 15 and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on August 16. This free festival goes on rain or shine, so come ready for a full weekend of Scottish culture and community. Watch athletes put strength and skill to the test in traditional Highland Games events. Caber toss (throwing a 16–20 foot pole tall), Scottish hammer throw, stone throw, weight for distance, weight over bar, and sheaf toss are among the competitions connected with the games. There is nothing quite like seeing a caber turn end over end and realizing someone just made tossing a very large log look almost reasonable. Take time to visit participating clans and societies, meet artisans and vendors, grab a bite from food vendors, and learn more about the traditions that continue to bring people together. The 2026 festival already includes a growing lineup of Scottish clans, societies, makers, and food vendors. Make a weekend of it, bring your favorite festival companion, and share this post with someone who would happily spend a day among kilts, cabers, and Celtic tradition. https://fireandicecelticevents.voog.com/albany-scottish-festival Photos by BP Creations and Photography LLC. , LV Camera Girl @vieaufinder (on Instagram) #VisitAlbanyDiscoverYourStory #AlbanyOregon #AuthenticallyAlbany #MyAlbanyStory #VisitAlbanyOregonPhotos from Albany Visitors Association's post
