159th Scottish Highland Gathering & Games
Labor Day Weekend (August 30-31), 2025 at the Alameda County Fairgrounds, Pleasanton
Heartfelt thanks to all the competitors, judges, entertainers, clans, societies, exhibitors, sponsors, vendors, and volunteers — and especially to the audience — who helped make the 159th Annual Scottish Highland Gathering & Games on Labor Day Weekend 2025 a truly unforgettable celebration of Scottish heritage, tradition, and culture.
A special note of gratitude goes to our guest bands: the Marine Band San Diego, the Wasatch & District Pipe Band from Utah, and the St. Thomas Alumni Pipe Band from Texas. Their outstanding performances added immeasurably to the tradition, pageantry, and spirit of the Games.
Continuing our tradition, California’s largest and longest-running Scottish Games will return to the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton for the 32nd time on Labor Day Weekend — September 5 & 6, 2026 — with the 160th Annual Scottish Highland Gathering & Games.
Until then, we say: “Haste ye back!”
