No pets are permitted on the Festival Grounds

The Fergus Scottish Festival and Highland Games maintains a policy that does not permit any pets on the Festival grounds, excluding service dogs. This policy is enforced out of respect and safety for the animals. The Festival hosts over 35,000 visitors over the course of the weekend. The size of these crowds can prove a threat to safety of pets. Furthermore, the nature of some of the events held on the grounds requires due caution to prevent possible injury to the animals.

The Fergus Scottish Festival encourages visitors to the Festival to make prior arrangements to ensure proper care is given to their pets while attending the Festival. The Fergus Scottish Festival in no way whatsoever wishes to encourage or support leaving pets unattended in parked cars, regardless as to whether a window may be open. To encourage the safe and proper care of these animals, provided is a list of local kennels that pet owners may choose to contact. Please visit this page to ensure that you are able to provide the documentation necessary for keeping your pet at a given location.

Absolutely no pets allowed on the Festival site.

Festival Camping

Patrons to the Fergus Scottish Festival who are using Festival campsites are permitted to keep their pets on their campsites only. The Festival asks that these pet owners exercise the caution required to prevent possible injury to their pets and to other persons.
