Western Canada's Premier Highland Games

COVID-19 ALERT

2020 Officially Cancelled - Due to continuing uncertainty concerning the safety of large events during COVID-19, our 2020 Games is officially cancelled. In 2021 we intend to host our best festival ever, as fitting the historic 30th anniversary of Canmore Highland Games. We look forward to raising a glass with you at that time. Until then, keep hope. "It’s gaein be awricht ance the pain has gane awa."
Translation: It’s a difficult time, but we will get through it and everything is going to be fine.
Please join us next year Sept 4-5, 2021 to help us celebrate our 30th Anniversary!

Our colours

The colours chosen for the weaving of our tartan represent the green forests, blue sky and waters of the Bow River, the black coal underground, the white snow-capped mountains, the fuschia mountain wildflowers and the yellow is for sunny Alberta.

The green tartan is heavyweight (18oz) suitable for a mens style kilt, and the white tartan is medium weight (13oz), suitable for ladies kilt-skirts and highland dance kilts/plaids.

These tartans were designed by local weaver Dorothy Garen and registered with the Scottish Register of Tartans.

Please email us if you are interested in purchasing yardage.
