This should be a lot of fun. Look for the group with kilts on and waving Scottish flags and join them.

Meet the Clans of the Middle Tennessee Highland Games & Celtic Festival!

One of the most meaningful parts of the Highland Games is connecting with the clans and societies that keep traditions alive through history, storytelling and heritage, so be sure to stop by all of the clan tents to dive into the history on September 12-13 in Hendersonville, TN.

We hope that you all have a safe and pleasant Memorial Day weekend.

We thought we would update you on the Scottish clan families that have already signed up to attend the 2026 Mid Tenn Games. A reminder that clan site fees go up in price on June 28th.

plus: Highland Rim Scottish Society, Scottish Society of Middle Tennessee, and Sons of the American Revolution

The planning is almost done for an expanded "Calling of the Clans" on Friday evening, Sept 11th. We will have a band for everyone, "Jacobites by Name" before the calling, and beer by Half Batch Brewery, which is one of our sponsors. We are also working on an improved torch stand and getting a couple of food trucks to come out so that you don't have to join the crowd in Hendersonville. We are even thinking about a prize for the best and loudest clan call so you can practice your announcement that your clan is in attendance.

Friday night is free!

We are super excited that this year we are trying hard to increase our military presence at the Middle Tennessee Highland Games. The Sons of the American Revolution, Stones River Chapter, will be hosting a tent in our new demonstration area of the games. This will be an education opportunity for SAR and also a welcoming and relaxing area for our military attendees.

We will be posting several other activities in the Nashville area in support of our military as our 250 US anniversary gift.

Thank-you R A Farrer, USMC for leading this endeavor.
