Douglas County Highland Games \u2013 (DCCS Games) \u201cUmpqua\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Held by the Douglas County Celtic Society.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Old World type event is held each year at the Henry Estates Winery along the Umpqua River in Southern Oregon, quite a picturesque area.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A smaller event reminding me of what might have actually occurred hundreds of years ago in Scotland where 1 or 2 villages & surrounding families might have met to enjoy some fun & drink in peaceful surroundings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smaller, yet in normal years this event still has everything common at larger events\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..everything that is except the parking problems and walking.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course,\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026great wine!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camping onsite is available & just steps away from the Umpqua River with great fishing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is my favorite event in our NW region & has a fine family atmosphere!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
