The Pipers’ and Pipe Band Society of Ontario and Kincardine Scottish Festival have agreed on their plans for the Highland Games on July 5, 2025. Kincardine will now appear on the master entry form with a full slate of band and solo events. The master entry form will be available in March 2025.
The PPBSO is also planning a smaller competition for June 7 in downtown Hamilton. This is a great opportunity for Grade 3, 4 & 5 bands and amateur soloists to get outside for a run through before Georgetown Highland Games on June 14.
The final details have not yet been worked out but this gathering would be limited to ten bands and will be held on the grounds of the Scottish Rite in Hamilton.
President, Malkie Bow said: “Although not a full Highland Games, we’re excited to run this event as a pilot project in the hopes of a bigger event next year”.
