The Scottish Traditional Boat Festival will return on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th June 2025. This is the 32nd anniversary of the event and a flotilla of heritage boats from across the country, will drop anchor in the historic harbour of Portsoy for a weekend of celebrations.
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, including Baigali Designs.
The festival will begin with our Big Gig on the Back Green on Friday 27th June 2025.
Be sure to set sail for Portsoy’s boat festival to be part of the magical mix!
Refreshments on the day are courtesy of Roaring stag with their range of hot drinks and locally produced coffee beans, and Seasonal Flavour with a host of artisan street food.
The focus is maritime and seafaring heritage, but there’s so much more; you could describe the Scottish Traditional Boat Festival as a series of festivals within a festival. The action-packed family programme includes:
