Activities cancelled and postponed at Fife festival this weekend

Organisers of this weekend’s Aberdour Festival have taken the decision to cancel some of the activities including the parade due to the wet weather forecast.
The gala parade has been cancelled at tomorrow's Aberdour Festival due to the heavy rain forecast. There were heavy downpours at last year's event too.

They put a post on the Aberdour Festival 2019 Facebook page today (Friday) to let locals know about the changes for tomorrow’s event.

As well as the cancellation of the parade, the sports day planned has now been re-scheduled to Sunday, August 4 and the festival crowning will now take place indoors at Aberdour Primary School instead of at Shore Road Park.

And instead of the sports day, a new event has been added - a Royal party in the school hall which will take place after the crowning.
