Summer in Aberdeen is set to begin with the return of the Aberdeen Highland Games to Hazlehead Park next Sunday.
The Aberdeen Highland Games, taking place on 15 June from 10am to 5:30pm, promises to be a day of fun that all ages can enjoy.
The Lord Provost of Aberdeen, Dr David Cameron, and The Marquess of Aberdeen and Temair George Gordon, who will be the Chieftain of the games, will officially open the Games.
The Lord Provost said: “Aberdeen’s Highland Games are a celebration of our heritage and showcases the strength and spirit of the North East.
“I am looking forward to welcoming back visitors and locals to our city for a day that the whole family can enjoy.”
This year’s Games will feature traditional Scottish Highland Games competitions including caber tossing and weight over the bar, as well as a selection of fine food and drink from local producers and high quality trade and charity stalls.
A range of fun and free activities, including an assault course, climbing wall, segways and TechFest will also be available for all ages to show off their skills and try something new.
Stage entertainment will also be on throughout the day from popular children’s act Mr Bloom from CBeebies and music by Aberdeen Music Service, The Rock Choir and Vienna.
Dogs are welcome to attend alongside their owners, so long as they remain on a lead at all times and can visit the dog activity zone.
Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased in advance via our website or on the day. For more information visit our website.
