NEWS RELEASE
FERGUS SCOTTISH FESTIVAL
*************************
CENTRE WELLINGTON – In March we made the heartbreaking decision to cancel the 2020 Fergus Scottish Festival and Highland Games and postpone our 75th anniversary celebrations until 2021. Since then, we have received an outpouring of support from our local community and festival patrons. As a thank-you for all your well-wishes we are pleased to Tartan Up and offer you a weekend full of community and virtual events.  

Aug. 7 to 9, tune into our website where we will be hosting a 'Wee Digital Ceilidh'. There will be content from some of our regular musicians as well as original and never seen before presentations from Highland Dance, Clans, Heavy Athletics, and Pipes and Drums. Expect the unexpected as we bring you greetings from across the Fergus Scottish Festival community and plenty of fun 'wee surprise cameos' from the performers and participants you look forward to seeing every year.

In the community, downtown Fergus will be host to visual displays, highland dancers, and the stirring sounds of pipes and drums. We encourage everyone to show their community spirit and help us celebrate the Fergus Scottish Festival and all things Scottish by participating in our Tartan Up home and business decorating competition. There is also a special category for festival volunteers. Help us paint the entire community tartan for a chance to win a prize sponsored by Your Hometown Realty. Details and registration forms can be found on our website at www.fergusscottishfestival.com.

Also tune into our Facebook page @FergusScottishFestival and Twitter @FergusScotFest as we bring you lots of fun content in the lead-up to festival weekend. Like and follow us for more details as we remain true to our commitment to bringing you “Scotland... without the airfare” this year as always.
