Rather than celebrate a major milestone in its history, the Phoenix Scottish Games will be taking 2025 off.
The Caledonian Society of Arizona board of directors recently made the decision to postpone this year’s 60th anniversary event, which had been scheduled for February. The event was to shift to the West Valley this year, at the West Valley Events Complex in Glendale.
“The board did not arrive at this decision lightly,” a Games statement posted to its website reads. “Current financial obligations, increasing overall costs to host the games, as well as significant increase in funds due prior to opening the games all contributed to the decision. Additionally, decreased ticket sales in all areas and lessening member resources were considered by the board.”
