Description

Were you there for the 80th anniversary of the Fergus Scottish Festival & Highland Games?

Join us as we recap our experience at one of the biggest events of the year. We'll take you back to the Friday night Tattoo ceremony, where we celebrated the four pillars: pipes and drums, heavy events, dance, and heritage. 

We'll also share highlights from our interviews with Outlander star Charles Vandervaart and former soccer player Steven Caldwell, and reveal what it was like to be at the incredible Bay City Rollers concert. 

Takeaways:

  • A personal take on the 80th Fergus Scottish Festival, including a recap of the Friday night Tattoo ceremony and its historical traditions.
  • Highlights from key interviews with Outlander star Charles Vandervaart and TSN sportscaster Steven Caldwell.
  • An inside look at the excitement of the Bay City Rollers concert, which packed the Sportsplex with over 10,000 people.
  • Recognition for Elizabeth Bender, the executive director, and the 400 volunteers who made the event possible.
