Portsoy

The Scottish Traditional Boat Festival will return on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th June 2026. This is the 33rd 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.

The festival will begin with our Big Gig on the Back Green on Friday 12th June 2026.

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