The games day starts with a procession of the Forres & District Pipe Band along Forres High Street into Grant Park where the Games Flag is raised.
The day follows with a spectacular show of Scottish tradition, sport and culture with Highland Dancing, Track and Field, Heavy Events, Tug of War, Solo Piping and many others.
