Since 1948, when the first Glengarry Highland Games were held, the people of Glengarry have extended close to a million welcomes to visitors who come to see what is estimated to be one of the largest Highland Games in the world. Thousands of people find themselves drawn each year to Maxville to witness an outstanding display of music, dance, sports, fiddling, pageantry, and tradition. The Glengarry Games are also home to the North American Pipe Band Championship.
Maxville is a short hour east of Ottawa, just off Hwy 417, thirty minutes north of the Canada/US border crossing at Cornwall, and a little over an hour northwest of Montreal.
During the Civic long weekend in August, it is said that all roads lead to Maxville.
