The stirring sounds of bagpipes will fill the air once again at the 30th Annual Northeast Florida Scottish Games and Festival, taking place on Saturday, February 22, 2025.
This family-friendly celebration offers visitors an immersive experience into Scottish culture,
history, athletics, cuisine, and entertainment. The event will be hosted at the Clay County Fairgrounds, located at 2493 State Road 16 West in Green Cove Springs—just 30 miles south of downtown Jacksonville.
The festival runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with extended entertainment continuing until 10 p.m.
Parking is free, and admission is $20 in advance or $25 at the gate. Children aged 5 and under enjoy free entry.
This year, the Honored Clan is Clan MacLeod, adding a special highlight to the festivities.
Entertainment will feature an incredible lineup of Celtic bands, including Albannach, Syr, and
Poehemia, presented by the Northeast Florida Scottish Games and Festival in partnership with
Guinness. The day will conclude with a spectacular fireworks display following the evening’s Celtic Rock Concert.
