The Berkshire Highlands will come alive with the sights and sounds of Scotland on Sunday, September 28, when the Litchfield Hills Highland Games return to Lime Rock Park as part of the Community Event series.
The Highland Games transform the picturesque racetrack into a stage of Scottish culture, featuring heavy athletics, clan and society gatherings, pipe bands, Scottish food and drink, the Faux Haggis Toss, children’s games and crafts, Scottish-inspired craft beer, sheep herding demonstrations, artisan spirit samplings and the spirited Kilted Mile for adults and kids. Additional activities include Highland Coo petting, a birds of prey exhibition and a British cars and motorbikes display.
Live entertainment will include performances from Coreyanne Armstrong, The Rogues, Charlie Zahm, the Talcott Mountain Highlanders, Pyramid Shriners Pipes and Drums plus others.
