CANCELLED: 2020 Capital District Scottish Games

Note from the event organizers: It is with great sadness that we have to announce the cancellation of the 2020 Capital District Scottish Games. The decision to cancel the games wasn't easy, but the safety of all our bands, athletes, dancers, vendors, volunteers, and most importantly our guests is our greatest concern. We are now moving forward on planning for the 2021 Capital District Scottish Games. We will return, we will move forward, we will all be together again.
