IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Greetings, from the board of Directors of the Southeast Alabama Highland Games! We hope this message finds you in good health.
If you’ve been following current events, the COVID19 or Coronavirus pandemic has forced the suspension of several indoor and outdoor events. The NBA, NHL, NCAA (Both Men’s and Women’s tournaments) are all suspending their seasons, and other organizations are re-thinking their events in light of what’s going on. These events have been postponed with the safety of the athletes, the fans and those who have to work at those events in mind.
We here at the Southeast Alabama Highland Games share that sentiment. The Athletes, the Clans, the Vendors, and the Public are what make our event. Without you, the magic of our event, and the energy that fills the air on that day would be gone.
With that in mind we are temporarily suspending our event, and working to reschedule with a fall date in mind. Over the next few weeks, we will be reviewing options for the next best date for our event. We will be making that announcement across all of our social media platforms.We would like to thank everyone for their understanding and their patience, and we look forward to seeing you later this year!
