The annual Scottish Games & Cultural Festival generates a lot of hype and excitement as kids and adults participate in games over a span of two days. Highland dancing, pipebands, storytelling, sheepdog demonstrations, animal displays, and games go on throughout. Food stalls and Scottish merchandise also dot the venue, and the whole family can have fun. If you're thinking of how cute Fido will look in a kilt, however, forget about it—strictly no pets allowed!
