Waipu Highland Games

Waipu Highland Games Get together on 1 January to celebrate the new year in true Scottish style. Plenty to watch and heaps to do, eat and try.

The games, besides being a major attraction for Northland every year, are also the main fundraiser to maintain the Caledonian Park in Waipu which is home to numerous local sports teams and events.
