My wife usually wears a denim skirt. The top and shoes are determined by the weather. At Gatlinburg this year her footwear included pink wellies and a rain jacket. At Stone Mountain she wore a blanket that was strategically wrapped around her. Underneath was a fleece top and hiking boots. She has been doing this nearly all of our 8 year marriage. She does have tartan skirts, but they are reserved for more dressy events such as dinners. But when you are outside for 8 to 10 hours, comfort is the key.
I don't think you have to be decked out in tartan to enjoy highland games. But of course you will not be out of place in the US if you wear something similar as the images above. But just know that these are not traditional scottish dress and they might not even be historically accurate.
