JOIN US AS WE MAKE HISTORY IN 2026

Dear Potential Sponsor,

For nearly five decades, the Maine Highland Games & Scottish Festival has welcomed thousands of visitors to celebrate the extraordinary traditions, athleticism, music, and community spirit of Scottish culture. Hosted by the Saint Andrew’s Society of Maine, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preserving and promoting Scottish heritage through education, outreach, scholarship, and performance, the Games continue to grow in size, prestige, and impact year after year https://www.mainehighlandgames.org

As we look ahead to August 8th, 2026, we are proud to say that the Maine Highland Games are rapidly becoming the premier Highland Games in New England—and your support is a key part of that momentum.

What Makes 2026 Our Most Ambitious Year Yet

A New Era for Pipe Band Competitions

This year features several major enhancements designed to position Maine as a top destination for pipe bands across the Northeast and beyond, including:

*Substantial award prizes

*Hotel partnerships for competitors and guests

*On‑site camping and RV space to support expanded attendance of 2026

The New England Heavy Events Championship

Held at the Windsor Fairgrounds, this major athletic championship will include:

*Pro, Amateur, Masters, Invitational, and Adaptive divisions

*Both men’s and women’s competitions across multiple classes

*Bonus events including the New England Farmers Walk and Sheaf Toss with cash awards

These competitions attract top athletes from across New England, the United States, and abroad, reinforcing our standing as a world‑class festival of strength and heritage.

Why Your Partnership Matters

Your sponsorship directly supports:

*Cultural preservation, ensuring the continuation of music, dance, athletics, history, and storytelling

*A major regional tourism draw that boosts local businesses and the wider Maine economy

*Educational and community programs run by the Saint Andrew’s Society of Maine throughout the year

*Performance, scholarship, and cultural outreach initiatives that keep Scottish traditions alive

Our attendees represent multiple generations and backgrounds, but all come together to celebrate a shared love of culture, history, and community. By sponsoring, your organization becomes part of this powerful and growing tradition.
