Vibe

A relaxed, all-ages day out in a city centre park in Inverness, built around traditional and folk Scottish music. Families with kids, older trad music fans, and younger groups all mix comfortably - it genuinely suits everyone from babies on blankets to people dancing at the front. Local food and drink from Highland producers is a big part of the appeal, and the whole thing has a strong community feel rather than a big commercial festival atmosphere.
