The Society has documentation that shows the first Games being held in 1849. Over the years, the Highland Games have been held at Sugar Island, Belle Isle, Grosse Isle, Bob-Lo Island, University of Detroit stadium, Ford Field in Dearborn, Historic Fort Wayne, and the Eleanor & Edsel Ford House in Grosse Pointe. For the past 29 years the Games have called Historic Greenmead Park in Livonia “home”. The Games are put on entirely by volunteers. Chair, Julie Palmer of Ypsilanti is aided in her efforts by a group of almost thirty Chairs who take over each phase of the Games. Over 400 volunteers are needed to work in the various areas on Games Day. Volunteers enjoy free admission to the Highland Games. Some of these volunteers start the Monday before the Games laying out the field and getting ready for the Saturday crowds. Many of the volunteers are Society members, their family and friends, and members or the community at large. All help is most appreciated. Again, all volunteers enjoy free admission to the Games. Forms to volunteer can be found on the website. History of St. Andrew’s Society of Detroit The St. Andrew’s Society of Detroit is the oldest benevolent organization in Michigan. Originally founded to help Scots new to the area assimilate into their new location the group also helped their fellow countrymen financially. Today the group is a 501(c) (3) organization that continually raises money for various charities. Money is given to Scottish and local Detroit charities. The group has a large scholarship program to promote the Scottish Arts helping students learn the art of bag piping, highland dance, drumming or Celtic harp.
