Milwaukee Highland Games

Saturday, June 8

Croatian Park

9100 S. 76th St., Franklin

A celebration of Scottish culture, the Highland Games features bagpipe bands, highland and other traditional dancing, a working sheepdogs demonstration, Scottish cuisine (there’s even a haggis taco eating contest) and an activity area for children. The biggest and brawniest spectacle of the event is the games themselves—traditional Scottish challenges like the light and heavy Scottish hammer throw contest categories, or the caber toss, which is essentially lifting up and tossing a giant pole.

The festival gates open at 9 a.m., with the last scheduled event at 5 p.m., general admission is $15. More info
