The Edinburgh Canal Festival is back!

12pm - 4.30pm, Sat 18th June 2022

We’re delighted to let you know that after no event in 2020 or 2021, we’re going ahead with Edinburgh Canal Festival ... with a difference!

To reflect the new Foutainbridge Canalside Community Trust's remit promoting the canal and canalside community activities, we are changing the Edinburgh Canal Festival from a Gala Day style event in the Lochrin Basin, to a ‘Doors Open Day’ that involves organisations from the Canal Basin right along to Harrison Park.

We have 6 main Festival areas for you to visit with a host activities and organisations to come and discover. Can you visit them all on the day and find the letters displayed? If you can solve the anagram of these letters, you can collect a small prize from our stall and be entered into the grand prize draw to win a 2 hour private hire on the Lochrin Belle!

Can I get involved?

A full programme involving many local organisations is already taking shape, and details are being added to on the event website when they become confirmed. However, we are still offering space for stalls to local community groups and charities who may like to use the event to publicise their work, raise funds or run an activity. 

We also have created a Community Performance Area. Some great acoustic musical acts, dance and engaging talks have been scheduled but we are looking for more ... Music, poetry, storytelling, dance and more all welcome :) Please get in touch if you, or someone you know would like to contribute.

And last but by no means least, we're looking for volunteers for both the day itself and in the run up to event. We need help putting out signage, collecting items from local groups, hanging childrens' artwork and stewarding on the day itself. Please contact us if you'd like to be involved
Get in touch now!
We will be putting regular updates and competitions on our social media pages so keep an eye on them. Thank you for your support.
 
See you in June!
 
p.s. Yes there will be a Raft Race!! More details on our website soon.
