Entertainment
Long confirmed as one of the most popular events on the Highland Games and Festival circuit for spectators and competitors alike, The Montreal Games and Festival has once again engaged top-notch performers to entertain you throughout the day and evening. Be sure to get a spot in the Ceilidh tent after the closing ceremonies for a genuine jam session with the winning pipe bands and the always-popular drum fanfare. Things really get rocking at this time.
