The Hororātā Highland Games were born from the community’s desire to take charge of its own future following the Canterbury earthquakes. What began as a response to significant loss has grown into one of the South Island’s most vibrant and well-attended rural events.

The Games are proudly delivered by the Hororātā Community Trust, a registered charity, and form a cornerstone of the Trust’s work in supporting and strengthening the local community.
