Sports and entertainment

But it's not just the culinary offering that's impressive. There's also a lot of sport involved: at the Scottish Highland Games, visitors can look forward to a variety of competitions.

With a program that includes both classical and modern sounds, visitors are invited to a picnic under the stars. The evening promises a musical experience in a class of its own.

A celebration for a good cause

Amidst all the joy, there is also a social aspect: the proceeds from the raffle and the rubber boot toss benefit the “wellengang hamburg” project, which supports children of mentally ill parents. This shows that fun and charity go hand in hand this weekend. According to LN-Online, the organizers not only thought about a great program, but also about the importance of community and Support.
