Winter Solstice Festival at Loch Lomond Shores
December 2014
As the shortest day of the year approaches on 21st December, Loch Lomond Shores gears up to stage a free family winter solstice festival on the banks of the loch that is guaranteed to bring light and smiles to everyone.
The event takes place on the last Sunday before Christmas and has been organized in conjunction with the Loch Lomond Rescue Boat team, a charity organization who work tirelessly throughout the year rescuing members of the public who get into trouble on the waters of the loch.
Everyone who comes along, no matter their age, will have plenty to entertain them throughout the day as the final Farmers' Market of the year will be showcasing and serving up a wide range of fresh tasty produce for your festive table, the shops will be sparkling with gifts for every friend and family member, the Artisan Craft Market will have a superb selection of one-off beautifully hand-made items that will be a feast for the eyes and not forgetting festive fun fair rides, Santa's Express Train and live music from Clann An Drumma. It maybe the shortest day but it will be jam packed with activities.
When darkness descends, the activities certainly won't be over as visitors will be treated to a beautiful firework display over the loch. The event starts at 10am and runs until 6pm, with the firework display at approximately 3.30pm. Other activities on offer include outdoor archery, street food stalls and fire eating shows.
This day will be an opportunity to celebrate the work of Loch Lomond Rescue Team, see the rescue boat in action, meet the team and importantly to show our heartfelt thanks for the service they provide.
Clare Gemmell, General Manager at Loch Lomond Shores said, 'We greatly admire the work of the volunteers involved in operating the Loch Lomond Rescue Boat and we're delighted to organize this unique winter event in their honour. We hope that the day will help raise awareness of the charity and also that the many visitors we expect to attend have a truly wonderful day trip, experiencing the magic of winter at our stunning location.'
Loch Lomond Shores is committed to supporting the work of this invaluable local service that so many rely upon, and are working to involve as many on site attractions and shops as possible in fundraising activities for this great day out.
