THE programme for the fourth Findhorn Bay Festival has been released.
The festival – which includes art, music, and theatre – begins on 23 September and runs until 2 October.
This year’s event also marks the tenth anniversary of Findhorn Bay Arts, the producer behind the festival.
Highlights include the docking of a tall ship – The Lady of Avenel – in nearby Buckie harbour for the first time in 50 years.
The Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO) has teamed up with children’s theatre company Visible Fictions to present Yoyo & The Little Auk, an introduction to orchestral music and storytelling for three-to-six year olds.
Kresanna Aigner, creative director at Findhorn Bay Arts, said: “We are delighted to welcome the festival back after a four-year break.
“Stories are the lifeblood of every community and, [in] this special year of Scotland celebrating the ‘Year of Stories’, our festival is all about connecting us to life and people.
“We have [more than] 100 events planned over the ten days and, with something to suit all ages and tastes, we cannot wait to welcome you to the fourth Findhorn Bay Festival.”
Karen Dick – head of place, partnership, and communities at Creative Scotland – added: “This year’s exciting programme offers unique and unexpected experiences, from traditional music to family-friendly events.
“It also creates opportunities for Moray-based artists to shine, including pop-ups from Combine to Create, supported through Culture Collective.”
