Our membership year starts with the annual Scottish Games.

The Caledonian Society
of Arizona
P.O. Box 50092
Phoenix, AZ 85076

Welcome to the Caledonian Society of AZ. The original Scottish Society of Arizona was organized on September 26th, 1953. The first Highland Games were put on in 1964 by members who played in the Phoenix Scottish Pipe band. The Highland Society of AZ was formed shortly thereafter to take over the Games and to hold an annual St. Andrew’s Day Dance. It became a 501[c]3 Non-Profit in 1976 and the name changed in 1981 to the Caledonian Society of Arizona

So, while it’s true that the Phoenix Scottish (Highland) Games will celebrate their 60th anniversary in February 2025, it’s also a fact that the Scots in the Valley have been meeting as an organized group for 65 years!

Regular gatherings feature educational and entertainment programs and we often provide sponsorships for Scottish activities such as Dance, Drums and Piping.
 

The Caledonian Society of Arizona has been proud to host The Phoenix Scottish Games - formerly named the Arizona Scottish Gathering & Highland Games - for over half a century. You don’t have to be Scottish to attend our Games. We welcome everyone and hope you’ll share with us about your cultural background too! Visit the Genealogy tent and trace your own family roots. There will be so much to see and do! Artists will entertain throughout the day with their traditional and modern Scottish tunes. The wee lads & lassies area will entertain our younger visitors. We will also showcase competitive highland dancing, pipe bands, heavy athletics, country dancing, historical re-enactments, vintage British car show/exhibition and representatives of over 50 Clans.

The Phoenix Scottish Games is a 3-day celebration of Scottish culture featuring athletics, music, dance, pipes & drums and genealogy research.

Our 60th annual Games will be held in Glendale AZ on February 14-162025.
