Great music & environment
2024
Love working Panama City Beach Scottish Festival. We had 70 athletes this year and a huge field. Even with the damp weather the field drained and we were not slowed down. Great music and environment had us hitting big numbers all day!
Backyard Rebellion Highland GamesGreat music & environment
2017
Ended the day with some Ibuprofen, a couple of beers, and some blackened fish tacos with my fellow throwers/friends. I'd recommend these games to anyone wanting a laid back game in a nice beach setting.

While the festival has had a beer tent and whiskey tastings in the past, it remains a family-friendly event with a children’s area that includes a petting zoo and family-friendly entertainment. Don't miss food, fun, music....
