A bustling programme has been announced with the return of Arbroath Sea Fest just a week away.

Established in 1997, Sea Fest is a popular celebration of Arbroath’s maritime heritage, attracting tens of thousands of visitors.

The event is celebrating its 20th anniversary and will take place around the town’s harbour on August 13 and 14.

Highlights include the Strongman and Strongwoman competitions, a performance by Showcase the Street, a demonstration rescue by Arbroath’s lifeboat crew and live music from several of the top bands in the area.

In addition, there will be the famous Sea Fest Pie Eating competition, the annual raft race across the harbour and a cookery demonstration from Arbroath’s former MasterChef champion Jamie Scott.

Sunday afternoon also features the return of one of the most fondly remembered activities from early Arbroath Sea Fests – the Fishers’ Wedding, which is to be re-enacted by members of Thomson Leng Musical Society and Youth Musical Theatre.

“At least 20 of our members will be taking part in the Fishers’ Wedding,” explained Stuart Young of Thomson Leng Musical Society.

“It will be quite a sight as we parade around the harbour in outfits similar to those worn by Arbroath fisher folk in days gone by, accompanied by the traditional, toe tapping sounds of the fiddle, telling the story of a fisher wedding.”
