Penticton Scottish Festival

What began as the Highland Games is now the Penticton Scottish Festival, a tribute to Scottish and Celtic culture, sport, and entertainment and a heck of a pa...rty! The Penticton Scottish Festival has operated for 6 years and gets bigger every year, with a record-breaking 2700 attendees in 2019. We look forward to breaking that record in 2021! Help us say thank you and celebrate this event by entering our throwback contest! Submit a photo, or photo of a cherished memorabilia item from the event, and your favourite memory in the comments and be entered to win a prize package. Head to www.penticton.ca/throwback to learn more about Penticton’s major events and contribute your photos.

These high stepping Irish Lassies will be part of "Experiencing the Arts" on the Penticton Scottish Festival's online special on Shaw Spotlight.
