Canmore Highland Games
The Canmore Highland Games (Since 1991) takes place in early September.
The mandate of our Society is to foster and encourage our Celtic culture and tradition in all its forms – dance, music and sports, and to establish the Canmore Highland Games as an entertainment/cultural destination event. The Highland Games takes Canmore back to it’s roots. Canmore (English) From Scottish Gaelic ceann mòr (“big head”), the nickname of Malcolm III of Scotland. You can still see a tribute to Malcolm III on Main street Canmore.
