2019 MONTREAL HIGHLAND GAMES

​Sunday, August 4, 2019
​Douglas Hospital grounds, Verdun, Quebec

Over the past 40 years, the Montreal Highland Games has become one of the premier events on the North American Highland games circuit.

​The Montreal Highland Games is always held on the Sunday following the Glengarry (Maxville) Games, which makes it a double header for pipe bands, athletes, Highland dancers and spectators. Among competitors, this has become known as the M&M weekend.

Every year, the Montreal Highland Games brings together Montrealers of Scottish and all other backgrounds to celebrate Highland games, music and culture.
​
The Games represent a wonderful opportunity for participants and visitors alike to discover the treasures, legends and history of the rich Scottish culture.
