Clan & Society Registration
Clans and Societies
Bring your clan tent or heritage society to the Tallahassee Highland Games in Tallahassee, Florida. This is a Scottish-core Highland Games gathering where clans, families, and cultural organizations meet the next generation face to face.
Why register your clan or society?
No fees. No limits. Just legacy.
Thanks to our sponsors and space at Apalachee Regional Park, clan and society participation is currently offered at no cost. There are no booth fees unless you choose optional rentals or special needs. We want your focus on heritage, storytelling, and community.
Keep the tradition visible
Many Scottish clan societies across the United States are working to reach new generations. Your tent becomes a living introduction for families and first-time visitors who want to learn about names, tartans, history, and the real meaning of Highland culture.
Showcase your legacy
Represent your clan’s stories, symbols, and traditions to thousands of attendees. Each clan tent is a small museum, a welcome table, and a point of connection for people searching for their roots.
Engage future generations
Our youth and family programming is intentionally placed near the Clans and Societies village. If you want young families to care about heritage, they need to meet the people who carry it. We also recognize standout clan tents for meaningful youth engagement and visitor experience.
Connect with other clans and societies
Network with fellow clan representatives, heritage groups, and cultural educators. Trade resources, compare notes, and help strengthen Scottish and Celtic cultural presence in the South.
Recognition and awards
We celebrate clans and societies that create memorable, educational, and welcoming tents. Examples of recognition include:
- Best Kids Engagement
- Best Presence
