Upcoming events.
Ormond Beach Celtic Festival & Highland Games
Join us at Fortunato Park in Ormond Beach on April 20-21, 2024, for the final Florida game before the Masters World Championship. There is a significant change to this game as it is now a two-day event. The organizers requested that we do something similar to the St. Augustine Highland Games, and we have obliged. On Saturday, April 20th, Men’s A’s, B’s, 40+, and Women’s Open will throw. On Sunday, April 21st, Women Masters, Master Men 50/60, and Novice will throw. We are excited to provide them with the best two-day game they have ever had! Please visit our store at f4sa.org/store to sign up.
