The Stone Mountain Highland Games is an annual Scottish heritage festival held at Stone Mountain Park, part of the park's regular fall events calendar alongside the Yellow Daisy Festival. It brings together clan gatherings, heavy athletics, and pipe and drum competitions in one of the Southeast's larger celebrations of Scottish culture.
Its Highland games and clan programming give it strong heritage value.
Held on the same mountain that anchors one of the South's most visited state parks, the games give Georgia's Scottish-American community and Highland games enthusiasts from across the Southeast a dedicated annual gathering point, combining athletic competition with genealogy and clan culture
Its setting inside Stone Mountain Park, alongside other major seasonal draws like the Yellow Daisy Festival, gives it access to the park's established event infrastructure and visitor base
where representatives of Scottish family clans connect visitors to genealogy and heritage resources
and massed pipe band performances combining multiple bagpipe and drum groups into a single large ensemble
are traditions shared with Highland games held across North America
