53rd Mount Barker Highland Gathering

Get your kilt on and your Scottish blood pumping for the 53rd Mount Barker Highland Gathering. There'll be Pipe Bands, Scottish Highland and Country Dancers, Strongman displays, stalls, Clan tents, community activities and a whole lot of fun for all the family!

Held at the Mount Barker oval, less than half an hour’s drive from the city, this all-ages daytime community event encompasses the best of Celtic dance, music and sport. Come along and help us celebrate this anniversary of true Scottish fun and fellowship.

The main arena at the oval will be a continuous hub of activity, with demonstrations of Scottish Country Dancing and Celtic Broadsword displays. The Gathering will also host various contests such as Pipe Bands, Highland Dancers and others who come to compete, perform and display their amazing skills. The South Australian Pipe Band Association 2014 Championships bring together bands from across South Australia and interstate, culminating in the magnificent massed pipes and drums leading the grand Parade at the opening and closing ceremonies.
