Please join us in celebrating all things Scottish the second weekend in September. The two-day festival features highland athletics, bagpiping contests, over 30 clan tents, European cars, sheep/duck herding demonstrations, highland dance, whiskey tasking, great vendors, wonderful music, and amazing food.
As a volunteer-run event, we depend on the efforts of volunteers to ensure this event is able to happen year after year (27 years and counting!). All volunteers get a t-shirt and free entry into the festival. We need volunteers to help on the athletic field, taking tickets, assisting with whiskey tasting, being a piping steward (a liaison between the judges and bagpipers), giving out information/t-shirts, and several other events.
Volunteer with a friend! Donate a few hours of your time, get a collectible t-shirt, and spend the rest of your day enjoying this amazing festival.

Mission Statement
The Mission of the Columbus Scottish Festival and Games is to present to the residents and visitors of the Columbus, Indiana area, a festival that perpetuates the heritage, customs, and skills of the Scottish people. This is to be accomplished in part through a panorama of Scottish events and traditional activities, recognizing the Scottish influence in the Columbus area. Secondly, the Mission is to present as high a quality of games as possible, striving to make them the most significant games in the Midwest, utilizing the professional expertise of the committee members to present and secure attractions to meet this end through the resources provided by tthe community.
Description
The Festival is organized as an incorporated 501(c)3 agency, entirely staffed by volunteers. The organizing committee meets at least monthly, with the intensity of the planning and fund-raising activities varying over the course of the year. We do use compensated specialist services where we cannot find volunteers (e.g. entertainers, electricians, judges, and so forth)
The usual programs within the Festival include: Facilities, Sheepdog Trials, Highland Dance, British Cars, Children's Activities, Entertainment (including the Ceilidh), Pipe Bands, Athletics, Advertising/Marketing, Decorations, Vendors, Re-enactors, Volunteers, and Clans. Additional activities vary year to year, but this year includes Rugby and a Shetland Sheep show.
The Festival itself occurs over the second weekend in September at the 4H Fairgrounds in Columbus, Indiana.
