Venue and parking is newly landscaped, watered and seeded

In view of last year’s dusty condition and current dryness, we have obtained a 4000 gallon water truck which is being operated daily by our Games Committee volunteer crew! The parking and various field areas have been graded and overseeded ! We are waiting to welcome everyone to the 48th Annual Savannah Scottish Games!

 

The Savannah Scottish Games takes place outdoors on the grounds of Bynuh's Field at Bethesda Academy. The outdoor area is a combination of grass and sandy soil. 

 

Volunteers must register ahead of time!

The Festival is a primarily volunteer driven organization and we are happy to welcome volunteers. Look for the Volunteer link on the website or email volunteers@savannahscottishgames.com

This event is rain or shine!

Our event will run rain or shine – we do not offer refunds if the weather is bad. The Savannah Scottish Games maintains a No Refunds, No Exchanges, No Exceptions policy. Please be aware that any ticket protection offered during checkout is provided solely by our ticket provider and is not affiliated with the Festival's policy.

Parking

is free, onsite (right outside the festival entry gate) and extensive! Arrive early to obtain a close parking spot.

 

The Savannah Scottish Games’ parking lot can be accessed directly off Ferguson Avenue at the festival entry gate at Bynuh's Field, Bethesda Academy. Look for Festival direction signage on Ferguson. Bynuh's Field has their own entry gates located half a mile north of the Bethesda Academy school grounds on Ferguson Avenue. We do not use the main address gate with the Bethesda Academy arches. 

 

There are preferred parking spaces (by permit only) on a first come, first serve basis so please arrive early if this is required.

 

Parking guides are in the parking lot until mid-afternoon to direct visitors into available parking spaces

Once Inside (Site Plan includes location details):

We are always working to improve — 

 

Main Field Viewing areas

Look for a significantly improved field viewing area - the Main Field layout has changed to allow clans to gather ‘in a village’ and there is more open spots to view the main field for visitor lawn chairs.

 

Shade Tents

When you’ve got the whole clan with you, both young and young at heart, it can be overwhelming on families. We have made it easier for you to enjoy your stay with shade tents scattered strategically on the Games’ grounds.
