The Free State Highland Games is a premier celebration of strength, skill, and Scottish heritage, bringing the rich traditions of the Highland Games to the heart of our community. Hosted by Nine Point Athletics, this event showcases elite and amateur athletes competing in legendary feats of power, including the Caber Toss, Weight for Distance, Sheaf Toss, and Stone Put.
More than just a competition, The Free State Highland Games is a family-friendly festival featuring live entertainment, food vendors, and cultural exhibits that honor the Highland spirit. Whether you're an athlete looking to test your strength, a fan of traditional sports, or just looking for a unique and exciting experience, this event has something for everyone!
Join us for a day of thrilling competition, camaraderie, and celebration—and be part of what will become a new annual tradition in Lawrence!
We at Nine Point Athletics are proud to introduce a "NEW'' competition format.
Split session competition day with all Amateur classes (men, women, masters and lightweight) being represented in the morning session.
The evening session is where the Show begins. We will host a Professional and Elite Amateur group of men and women.
This will be a five event Games. Open Stone, Light Weight, Light Hammer, Caber, Sheaf and Weight Over Bar. Amateur classes in the morning session will have the option to choose the five heavy or light for their group and with time permitting be able to do the other four events.
Unlike a traditional Highland Games we will be throwing distance events off of a platform! The venue was built to host rodeos, because of this there is no grass.
We would love to partner with you. See our Sponsor page for more information.
