Now in its sixteenth year, The Doric Festival is unique in its involvement of local communities across the North-east in celebrating our language, music and traditions.

The Festival provides an opportunity for all, especially our youngsters, to witness the vibrancy of the tongue, music andstories of this North- east neuk, and for performers to participate in the preservation of this heritage.

We appreciate your help and support for the aims of The Doric Festival, and wish to thank all who have made this year’s festival possible.
