Orlando Highland Games

Wow - what a great event just outside of Orlando. I spent a full Saturday at a Scottish Highland Games and had an absolutely incredible time. I was amazed by how many people were there and had to park quite far away! This was a great day's event for only $15.

If you love bagpipes and drums, this is the place to be! There were many different competitions and exhibitions throughout the day. I just love the sound of bagpipes and they give me goosebumps every time I hear them.

The highlight for me however was to watch the actual strength events such as tossing the caber. It was quite entertaining watching these athletes give it their all in these friendly competitions. The comradery was great as they cheered each other on to greater feats.

Maybe next year I will compete?????

This was one of the most fun and most economical days that I have had throughout my adventures in Florida and I would highly recommend this event to everyone in the future!

Til next time!
