The Fergus Scottish Festival and Highland Games is a three-day cultural festival held in Fergus every year for more than 70 years – from 1946.

The festival features competitions that lead up to the World Scottish Athletic Championships. It is North America’s oldest festival of its kind.

The games have had two locations, Victoria Park and more recently, the Centre Wellington Community Sportsplex.
