Which isn’t far from Buckley.

The annual Highland Games at the Enumclaw Expo Center feature famous competitors from all around the country. If you’re not into sports, there are many vendors and historical booths to enjoy as well.

HIGHLAND GAMES & CLAN GATHERING One of the most colorful festivals anywhere is the Pacific Northwest Highland Games and Clan Gathering, bringing a bit of Scotland to the Puget Sound region for more than 70 years. Expect the mighty sound of pipe and drum bands, the beauty of Highland dancing or the physical strength and agility of athletes engaged in traditional Scottish competition.

2019

The event officially opens Friday, July 26, but the public days are Saturday and Sunday.

Adult admission is $20 for a one-day pass or $30 for two days; there is special pricing for senior citizens, children and military members. Also, parking is $10 per day.
