Experience the thrill of the Highland Games with traditional events like caber tossing and the sheaf toss, plus piping, drumming, Highland dancing, and Tartan pride. Enjoy great food, cold beer, and a lively atmosphere. Don’t miss the free Friday night “Highland Fling” in downtown Laurinburg (10/3, 5–8 PM), featuring music, performers, and a festive community kickoff to an unforgettable weekend.
