The Highland Gathering is a Celtic Festival that will take place Saturday, July 25 & Sunday, July 26, 2026, in Sherwood Park, Broadmoor Lake Park and on the Salisbury High School athletic fields. It is an amazing and entertaining mix of Scottish pipes, drums and massed bands. Add to that Highland, Scottish and Irish dancing – and top it all off with flying kilts at the heavy events with shot put, caber toss and more!
The Gathering is a sanctioned event with top class competitions in piping, drumming, dancing and heavy events. To make this an exciting family experience, there are food trucks, community information booths, and vendors offering jewellery, art, and artisan live demonstrations, along with a wide range of Scottish and Canadian products.
Sit in the shade of the Sherlock Holmes Pub Beer gardens or stroll through the grounds. We are also a dog-friendly event!
Visitors to the Sherwood Park Highland Gathering are welcome to park in any of the public parking lots adjacent to Broadmoor Lake Park.
PLEASE NOTE: Accessible parking stalls are located in the parking lots at Festival Place, Sherwood Park Arena, Kinsmen Leisure Centre, & Community Centre Parkade.
