The B.C. Highland Games and Scottish Festival is the longest running Highland Games in British Columbia, Canada. The games are run by the BC Highland Games Committee under the auspices of the United Scottish Cultural Society, out of the Scottish Cultural Centre in Vancouver. Since the early 1990s, the games have been held on the last Saturday of every June at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam.[1]

In 2015, additional events include entertainment from performance pipe bands (Vancouver Police, Irish Regiment of Canada, JP Fell Pipe Band, Harrison Highlanders Pipe Band) and the duty band will be the RCMP E. Division Pipe Band of British Columbia. The festival wraps up with BC's largest massed pipe band display around 4pm, a grand finale on the main stage and an expanded beer garden.
