Most of the major events held in St. Andrews have to do with the town’s favorite pastime, golf.  However, the Kingdom of Fife offers many events and festivals throughout the year.

            Most golf related events are held on one of the six Links Courses in St. Andrews.  These courses (especially the Old Course) are world famous, with legends like Tiger Woods calling them his favorite of all time.  Many PGA tour events come through St Andrews, like the Open Championship (possibly the most important golf event in the world), and the Dunhill Links.  For more information, visit the Links Events Page.  The official golf week is held in St Andrews at the end of every April.           

            A cultural event held in St Andrews every year is the Stanza Poetry Festival .  This unique gathering of the area’s finest poets and performers draws large crowds every year.  This is the only poetry festival held every year in Scotland, and happened during the month of March.

            The Highland Games is a unique sporting event held in Scotland and a few other places around the world, and has events held in Fife throughout the summer months.  For contact information about these events, visit the Highlands Game Association.
