The 163rd Victoria Highland Games & Celtic Festival was held over the period of May 9 to 17, 2026.
The festival period started with the Tartan Parade through downtown Victoria on Saturday, May 9 followed by the Tilted Kilt Pub Crawl on Wednesday, May 13, Highland Games reception and the full weekend Highland Games at Topaz Park on Saturday and Sunday, May 16 and 17 at Topaz Park.
One of the highlights of the Games weekend was hosting the Scottish Highland Games Women’s World Championship, the first time held in Canada! While there were damp periods on Saturday, the sunny skies on Sunday brought a record crowd to the Games that saw Meagan McKee become Women’s Heavy Events World Champion for 2026.
The Victoria Highland Games & Celtic Festival is the largest 2-day Games in British Columbia, and the longest continually running Highland Games in North America (started in 1864).
