Event - Tarbert Seafood Festival this weekend

[Ship called Dignity]

Looks like another cracking weekend of entertainment in Tarbert this weekend.

With entertainment spread across two days the Tarbert Seafood Festival is not only for cookery and food enthusiasts but is a fun packed weekend for children and families. Set around Tarbert’s natural harbour at the tip of Kintyre, it is now regarded as one of the area’s main annual events. The Festival includes a variety of entertainment, Boat Trips on Loch Fyne, a large variety of stalls, a Seafood Trail and a local country market. The arrival of the Seafood Queen and Princesses by fishing boat to be crowned heralds the start of the Festival. From live bands, street entertainers, bouncy stuff, street entertainers, to mouth watering cookery demonstrations and a traditional boat rally there is sure to be something for everyone at the Tarbert Seafood Festival.

This year sees the return of two Festival favourites with cookery demonstrations by celebrity chef Nick Nairn and live music provided by Esther o’ Connor.

Unfortnately it was a rather wet day on the Saturday for the Seafood Festival but everyone there seemed to enjoy themselves. Lots to do and see and very well organised.

Unfortunately I didn't take many photos but I note photos have now been posted on the Seafood Festival website at. Sunday cleared up and by all accords an excellent day. Well done and roll on 2009!
