Some Facts about the Scottish Highland Games:

  • The event is produced entirely by volunteers from the Caledonian Club of San Francisco. 
  • The Caledonian Club does not take government funding or apply for foundation support.  Its is very rare indeed when a nonprofit organization produces such a  huge event without relying on funding.
  • The annual format of virtually all Highland games creates consistency.  People plan their vacation calendars to permit visits to their favorite games.
  • The format has proven to be an excellent way of educating children about their heritage.  The very young have fun; its like going to the fair!
