The 158th Scottish Highland Gathering and Games are at the Alameda County Fairgrounds on Labor Day Weekend 2024.
Established in 1866, the Scottish Highland Gathering and Games at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton is California's longest running Scottish Games featuring the very best of Scottish competitions.
This year's Games hosts the Women's World and the U.S. Men's & Women's Heavy Athletics Championships, as well as Highland Dancing, Piping and Drumming, and Soccer competitions, and a fun Kilted Mile race.
Live entertainment features Scottish Country Dancing, harpists and fiddlers, Scottish folk singers, Celtic Rock bands, pipe & military bands, and the spectacular sight and sounds of the Massed Bands.
Plus, you can sample the delights of traditional Scottish foods and drinks - including Whisky Tasting!
John Michael Baillie-Hamilton Buchanan of that Ilk Chief of the Name and Arms of Buchanan has graciously agreed to serve as Honored Clan Chief at the Pleasanton Highland Games
Clan Buchanan will be represented by James Buchanan, please contact him with any queries or support
Tent and display setup will be on Friday at 1 PM. We need help with setup, staffing the tent, greeting visitors, and recruiting new members during the two-day event. We could also use help with breakdown of the tent and displays after the games conclude.
Come join us in the Buchanan tent as we come together to celebrate our Buchanan heritage and Scottish History while having fun meeting new people and recruiting new members. Hope to see you there!
