Sea Fest bonanza expected to bring 25,000 people to Arbroath

Preparations are well under way for Arbroath Sea Fest 2015, which is one of the biggest summer events on the east coast of Scotland.

More than 25,000 people are expected to flock to Arbroath Harbour on August 15/16.

“With such large numbers coming along to this annual event, Arbroath Sea Fest is an excellent showcase for local businesses, organisations and the town itself,” said Councillor Alex King.

Many local organisations raise vital funds during Arbroath Sea Fest.

As well as traditional activities such as the daily launch of the RNLI lifeboat, this year’s programme includes a raft race, a strongman competition and pie eating.
