Dating back to the days of ancient Rome, grape stomping has been a harvest tradition in Europe. Even today, many small vineyards across the world host grape stomping events every year after the harvest. For centuries, small vineyards would gather all their family and friends and handpick the grapes off the vines. After the vines have been stripped bare of their fruit, a large celebration would be held to celebrate the end of the harvest. Tables would be set with platters upon platters of food, the wine would pour freely, and everyone would gather around the table at sunset and share stories of the day. In some vineyards, the dinner celebration would end in a grape fight. 

In just over a month, the small town of Lincoln will be overrun with men in kilts, bagpipes, and haggis. While you may hope that they are filming the new season of Outlander in the White Mountains, it is, in fact, the return of one of the largest Highland Games in North America. From Friday, September 21^st through Sunday, September 23^rd, the New Hampshire Highland Games & Festival (NHHG&F) will be returning to Loon Mountain Resort again for its 42^nd year.
