Eight pipe bands competed at the first Glengarry Highland Games in 1948 and today, the Games can boast of hosting the largest massed pipe bands in North America with bands that have numbered over seventy. The Games have grown over the years to add more events in Piping, Heavyweights and Dancing. To be sure the Games are one of the premier stops each summer for Scottish competitors. Pipe bands have come from Scotland, New Zealand, and from every province and most States. There are now five competition Grades for piping and in 2007, a new Juvenile Pipe Band Competition will be held. Highland Dancing has also seen a growth in numbers and events over the years. There are now between two and three hundred competitors. The Massed Highland Fling at the Official Opening was first held in 1962. A number of champion dancers have competed in Glengarry over the years. Peter Daniel was here from Australia and world champion, Garth Mitchelson from Scotland, won his class here in 1988. With the interest and growth of violin teachers in the area, the participation of fiddlers at the Games became more and more prominent. The Glengarry Games is synonymous with massed fiddlers who participate each year in the Scottish fiddle venue.
