The Fort Nottingham Highland Games and Festival are held annually on the grounds of Fort Nottingham in the green hills of the Natal Midlands. The fort is located about eight kilometers from the village, and the connecting field provide an excellent location for the gathering, because it allows for separate events to be held on different fields.

The festival features a wide variety of activities which are typically found at traditional Scottish gatherings like the well known Braemar games, and include traditional Scottish events such as the Tossing the Caber (a 45kg log), Putting the Stone(26kg), Throwing the Hammer, Tug of War competitions, the Dunsmore Challenge, Highland Dancing and a number of food stalls and exhibits. Other entertainment featured at the event includes gumboot dancing, a dog display, and whisky tasting in the old fort's barracks.

The village of Nottingham Road, which surrounds the fort, provides ample safe parking for over one thousand vehicles, and the area is conveniently marked with signs, which lead visitors easily to the village. A shuttle service from the parking area to the fields is also available. Due to the location of the village, visitors can also take a detour to the famous Midlands Meander Arts and crafts route, which allows them to view and purchase anything from handmade leather goods, to furniture and various food items.
