2023-06-24 11:30 - 17:00
Cambusbarron Gala Day 2023 is gearing up to be another fantastic day full of FUN and exciting opportunities and entertainment.

Our Royal Party for 2023 has been chosen. It shall, as always, be led by The Balaklava Pipe Band with the Royal Procession of Queen Scarlett Rose McGowan, her Princesses, Knights, Dragon, Fairies, Pixies and Cute Bugs leaving from The Community Centre at 11:45am heading along the streets of Cambusbarron and it will be spectacular!

Keeping you informed of all that happens on Gala Day we have our DJ/MC, Lola from ‘Bairnz Kids Discos’. In between our entertainment they will provide music and games to ensure everyone has fun.There will never be anyone saying “I’m Bored!”

USB Events bring us the inflatables; the Helter Skelter, Bouncy Slide and seeing the return of their 60ft Bouncy Assault Course with a new Fun Activity Centre, there will be something for everyone. And these will all be accessed via our Unlimited Wristbands.

Once Queen Scarlett Rose officially opens the festivities of Gala Day the entertainment will begin with The Cluaran Highland Dance School of Stirling. Following them we also have Blues Dance Academy with our littlest stars of Cambusbarron then New Heights Dance and the Adult Tap Dancers.

Leigh Milne joins us this year with a fantastic Magic Show and later they will cruise the crowds with Balloon Modelling.

Back by popular demand we will see Owl Magic who will bring some amazing owls and give you the opportunity to hold them too.

For the first time ever, and much to the excitement of our Committee, we have Pony Rides!! Brought to us by Janice Walker Riding School. You will have the chance to ride on the adorable ponies and take home a memory that will last.

And it doesn’t stop there. We have many other forms of entertainment from demonstrations by ‘Bounce Fitness’, to ‘Rugby Tots’. Plus of course, over 25 Stalls on ‘Market Street’ including ‘Sonsie Facepainting’ who returns to provide some glitter and glam; ‘Ring-a-Bell’, an all time classic and many others from wax melts to handmade crafts & gifts. We also have ‘Megs Cakes’ and the ‘Sweet Cart’ for those sweet tooths to enjoy.

We haven’t forgotten the foodie vendors. Of course we have local Michael More Butchers providing the best Barbecue for miles; Fried Guys return with their famous mouth watering fries and of course a favourite of ours ‘Mr Whippy’ Ice cream van too and as we have put in an order for sunshine we’ll be needing a cool yummy ’99 cone.
