Savannah Scottish
Games
Savannah, Georgia
The Savannah Scottish Games are a wonderful way to celebrate and
experience Celtic heritage.
The American South was settled in large part by Scottish
immigrants. The influence of those early Scots can today be seen in the names of
streets, cities, and counties, as well as in existing traditions, folklore, and
common sayings.
The Savannah Games are held on the campus of the historic
Bethesda Home for Boys. Events include piping competition, bagpipe bands, highland
dancing competition, Scottish heavy athletics, Scottish immigrant re-enactors,
modern Celtic music, border-collie herding and obedience demonstrations, and
children’s events.
