OUR MISSION: To present, promote and preserve Scottish Culture within the framework of a Canadian multicultural society. Founded in 1946 by Alex Robertson, the Fergus Scottish Festival & Highland Games were created as a community wide celebration of Scottish life and customs. Since then the Festival has grown to proudly earn the title of the oldest 3 day Scottish Festival in North America attracting over 30,000 visitors.
