On this page you can find details of the adult mass dances (including cribs and diagrams) of our programmes for the 2019 festival and the programme for the evening dance. The demonstration and the highland dances, plus the junior programme for the afternoon dancing will be published shortly.
In the afternoon (1.30 – 5.00), the adult massed dancing is interspersed with children’s dances, demonstration dances and highland dances. Full details of how it all fits together will be published here in the run up to the Festival.
