Blackford Highland Games - May 25th

The famous Blackford Highland Games have been held since 1870 on the park, an area of land leased to the community by the landowner. A condition of the lease is that the Highland Games are held there annually in May.

We welcome visitors to our Games with a full list of events including throwing the hammer, tossing the caber, putting the shot, tug o’ war, athletics, track and field events, dancing with side shows, trade and refreshment stands.
