Event Characteristics

The style of Highland Games in New Zealand varies from venue to venue, always with the assistance of the local communities, attracting spectators and competitors nationally and even internationally as far away as Canada.

 

Each festival, gathering or games has it's own unique flavour which in some cases has been developed over 140 years and may showcase everything on this website .
