The Highland dancing competition and family fun day takes place at Minnigaff Playing Fields on Sat 13th July from 10am-5pm and includes inflatables, rides, entertainment and food/drink. Covered market stalls are available for £20.00 per stall or £15.00 per stall if you have your own gazebo/cover.

Whether you're a crafter, food/drink producer, local charity, organisation or community group or if you just want to run your own boot sale, we have pitches available for £15.00 per pitch or we can provide covered market stalls (pictured) for £20.00 per stall.  Stalls/pitches are free for charities and community groups.

We are expecting a significant increase in visitors this year as we have teamed up with the former members of the Galloway Pageant Committee to deliver, alongside the Highland dancing competition, a family fun day with lots to do for children and families.

Please contact Festival Director Nathon Jones on 01671 404924 or e-mail festival@tradmusic.com to book your place.
