Tarbert Seafood Festival 1st – 2nd July 2017 For many years the Seafood Festival has been offering visitors the opportunity to sample the culinary delights that can be created from local produce from the crystal clear waters of Loch Fyne. The Harbour is lined with a variety of stalls operated by the local businesses and hotels showcasing the many local delicacies on offer. Cookery demonstrations using the local seafood on offer are held in the fisherman’s market throughout the day.

It is not only a celebration of our local produce but there is much to be entertained by over the weekend for both locals and visitors alike. One of the highlights of the event is the crowing of the Seafood Festival Queen and her princesses after she has arrived in Tarbert by sea. This is followed by the festival procession through the village of the floats created by local people with a variety of themes, led by the seafood queen and Mid Argyll Pipe Band.

Traditionally Sunday on the fish quay is a great family day out with live music and lots to entertain the kids and adults.

Book your accommodation now to avoid disappointment.
