Fun for the whole family, the Highland Games at Shea Field are heavy athletic competitions originating in the Scottish Highlands. Heavy athletics are events that require significant strength and power. -- stone throwing, weight tossing, hammer-throwing, caber turning, and sheaf tossing.

Scottish heavy athletic events are traditional events involving traditional equipment, not to be confused with Scottish heavy athletics with 'strongman' competitions, which involve lifting cars, loading kegs, etc.

The St. Jude Highland Games has something for every age group. From shopping at the craft tables, grabbing something from the grill, just sitting back and watching the event, to pony rides and face painting, St. Jude Highland Games will entertain everyone in the family.

All proceeds to benefit St Jude Children's Research Hospital
