◆ Welcome ◆
Heart of the Highlands, Soul of the Community
Nestled in the rolling hills of Aberdeenshire, the Tarland Food and Music Festival brings together the finest local producers, talented folk musicians, and the warmest community spirit you'll find anywhere in Scotland. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning friend, there's always something new to discover — and something familiar to savour.
◆ The Food ◆
A Feast of Local Flavours
From award-winning Aberdeenshire cheeses and freshly smoked salmon to hearty venison pies and honey straight from the hive — our food market celebrates the extraordinary produce grown and crafted right here in the North East of Scotland.
Over 30 local producers and artisan food stalls will be on hand, with cooking demonstrations, tastings, and plenty of opportunities to take a little piece of Tarland home with you.

Fiddles, Reels & Ceilidh Nights

Saturday evening culminates in a grand ceilidh under the stars — dancing, laughter, and music long into the warm summer night.
