Highland Games return to Croydon

After a wonderful festival in 2022, the Melbourne Highland Games and Celtic Festival is back.

Almost 5000 people flocked to Eastfield Park South Croydon to witness the spectacular event.

As the first Highland Games in Victoria for three years, the committee was thrilled to see the crowds in such numbers.

Close to a thousand performers and participants are geared up to put on an even better show this year.

The sound of the Pipes will once again be heard in the Eastern Suburbs at Eastfield Park, Eastfield Road Croydon on Sunday 26 March.

Grounds open at 9am and official opening Ceremony commences at 9:30am.

Then let the Celtic Music, Dancing and Scottish Men and Women’s Heavy Games begin, including Irish, Welsh, Scottish and Morris dancers.

Children under 16 are admitted free and there will be lots of diverse activities for them to watch or participate in, including the famous Welly-boot tossing!

The closing ceremony and very popular Mass Pipe bands march will commence around 4pm
