The 89th BC Highland Games & Scottish Festival will be proudly presented on June 20, 2020 by the United Scottish Cultural Society, an umbrella organization of some of BC's major Scottish cultural groups. The Games Organizing Committee is a year-round committee of 35+ volunteer members who stage the Games in conjunction with the B
C Pipers' Assn, the BC Highland Dancing Assn. and the Royal Scottish Country Dancing Assn. Our community event is supported by great friends and partners; companies such as REMAX. BCLC and the City of Coquitlam through its city Spirit Grants, the BC Gaming Commission and the BC Arts Council.
The Games headquarters is the Scottish Cultural Centre in Vancouver. A great, central venue for wedding and events (with parking).
