Plan your weekend so you don't miss out.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Please don't forget that pets are not allowed in the park for the health and safety of all our patrons.
CASHLESS EVENT
The 2026 Kincardine Scottish Festival is moving to a cashless system for our primary festival services. To help reduce wait times and keep our lines moving smoothly, the Main Entry Gates and the Thistle Bar will exclusively accept debit, credit, and mobile payments (Apple Pay/Google Pay). Please come prepared with your digital wallet or card to ensure a seamless experience at these locations.
Note on Vendors: While the Festival Gate and Bar are cashless, independent food vendors and merchandise tents operate separately. Many may still accept or even prefer cash, so we recommend keeping a small amount on hand for those specific purchases.
SPECIAL FIRST NATIONS PERFORMANCE
We're happy to welcome back Christine John to sing the national anthem in English, French and Ojiway, Christine is a member of the Sagamok Anishnawbek First Nation and resident of he Saugeen First Nation.
