Crowning
Start your day off by coming to the marquee to celebrate the crowning of this year’s Royal Party by Aberdour’s one and only Lisa Norman. This has been an amazing year for Lisa, with Aberdour Shinty Club celebrating their Silver Jubilee, the club founded by Lisa in 2001. Having lifted 3 major youth competitions last year and inspiring many youngsters over the years to pick up a caman, she was awarded the 2025 Mowi Youth Coach of the Year by the Camanachd Association. We are delighted that she will officiate at the crowning this year.
We have four wonderful Primary 7 pupils who are excited to bring a Royal presence to this year’s festivities. We will welcome the Festival Queen, Io, with her Attendant Holly, and the Festival King, Jamie, with his Attendant Leone. Come and join them as they are officially crowned – the Royal Party of the 42nd year of the Aberdour Festival!
Parade
Join Aberdour’s newly crowned Royal Party as they lead the parade through the village in true majestic style to the sounds of the wonderful Dysart Colliery Brass Band. We are thrilled to welcome back this brass band, to help us kick off our 42nd Festival in true party spirit. Join the fabulously colourful crowd and if you wish, dress up to celebrate the 2026 Commonwealth Games. There will be prizes for the best costumes!
Join us for the Crowning at the Festival Marquee, after which the parade will proceed along Hawkcraig Road up to Main Street, turn left and walk along the High Street to Dovecot Gates. There we will turn around and walk back along the High Street, turning right at Shore Road, and finishing our parade at Black Sands Beach, just in time to register for the spectacular sandcastle competition and join the queue for your first Festival burger of the year!
