See below 👇 update on Tarland Food & Music Festival plans and a chance to get involvedHello again from Tarland Food & Music Festival! 👋
Our page has been a little quiet recently while we’ve been busy planning behind the scenes… but preparations for this year’s festival are well underway.
We’re delighted to say that our main acts for each day of the festival are now in place, and we’re looking forward to sharing more about the line-up very soon.
As a small, community-run festival, we rely on volunteers to help make it all happen. We’re currently looking for a few more people who might like to get involved with our festival planning subgroup, helping with some of the organisation in the run-up to the festival, as well as being part of the team over the festival weekend in September.
If you’d like to find out more, we’re holding a planning meeting on Monday 13th April at 7pm, and you’d be very welcome to come along and see what’s involved.
It’s a great way to support a local event, meet new people, and help bring live music and great food to the heart of the community.
If you’re interested, send us a message or leave a comment and we’ll share the details.
More festival news coming soon… 🎶🍴
