The Highland Gathering is a Celtic Festival that will take place Saturday, July 19 & Sunday, July 20, 2025 in Sherwood Park in Broadmoor Lake Park and on the Salisbury High School athletic fields. It is an amazing and entertaining mix of Scottish pipes, drums and massed bands. Add to that Highland, Scottish and Irish dancing – and top it all off with flying kilts at the heavy events with shot put, caber toss and more!

The Gathering is a sanctioned event with top class competitions in piping, drumming, dancing and heavy events. To make this an exciting family experience – there are food trucks, community info booths, and vendors offering jewellery, art works, artisan live demonstrations with a multitude of Scottish and Canadian products.

Sit in the shade of the Sherlock Holmes Pub Beer gardens or stroll through the grounds. We are also a dog-friendly event!

Please come join Paul McCormack in Sherwood Park, Alberta! 

Only about 20 minutes from my home in Edmonton, Alberta spreading the joy of Clan Buchanan!

Two glorious days visiting with old friends, making new ones, sharing information, & engaging with visitors eager to learn about their personal Scottish connections, & Clan Buchanan.
