Celebrate.

At Athena Caledonian Games, we believe in the power of community and tradition. Our festival is a tribute to the famous Scottish Highland Games, where clans have gathered for centuries to compete and celebrate their heritage. We aim to keep these traditions alive and create a space where everyone can come together and enjoy being in community.

OUR MISSION
Does the sound of bagpipes stir your blood?
We organize and hold a Scottish heritage festival every summer in Athena, Oregon, as a tradition we have preserved since 1899. We celebrate our Scottish culture with athletic games, music, dance and other traditional events. Many local descendants of the early Scottish settlers join with us to keep our ancestors' spirit alive and thriving.
