Portsoy Boat Festival

 

The Scottish Traditional Boat Festival will return on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd June 2024.

Upholding the north east’s maritime heritage, there will be a packed programme of entertainment including music and dance, the finest Scottish food and drink and demonstrations of age-old crafts, unique handmade items and gifts.

Coastal connections, fishing memories and seafaring traditions are woven right through the festival – from the heritage boats filling our harbours to the dextrous demonstrations of crafting, seaborne races and hitting the high notes on the music and dance stages.

Be sure to set sail for Portsoy’s boat festival to be part of the magical mix!
