Modern Day Games

Today, many of these games are recognized Olympic events with both men and women competing. The best guess of their origin is that the games were the ancients' version of today's military physical. In the hand-to-hand fighting of early wars, strength and endurance were crucial for the survival of the clans.

On the Festival field, there will be hammer throws, putting the stone, and caber throwing contests. Come join us and see a mere man toss a 19'7", 140-pound caber end-over-end!

All competitors are required to wear a kilt and the  LPSIHF games shirt, hose and flashes are strongly recommended. There will be no kilts for rent on the field.
