The Ligonier Highland Games is a highland games event in Western Pennsylvania that takes place in early September. The events primarily take place at Idlewild Park in Ligonier, Pennsylvania, 45 miles east of Pittsburgh. Some events also take place in nearby Greensburg. Competitions include heavy athletics such as the caber toss, stone put, and weight and hammer throw. Other competitions take place in highland dancing, solo and band piping, drumming, Scottish fiddling, and Scottish harp. Vendors sell related items such as authentic tartans, bagpipes, and jewellery.
