Why Supporting Our Events Matters More Than Ever

Ask anyone in town, and they’ll tell you the same thing: Bo’ness Fair Day is “The Best Day of the Year.”

It is a tradition steeped in history, a day where generations of families come together, streets are lined with stunning arches, and the smiles on our children’s faces make every ounce of effort worthwhile.However, behind the coronation, the bands, and the vibrant procession lies a reality that many in our community might not fully realise: it costs around £90,000 every single year to deliver Fair Day.

From hiring staging and booking procession bands, to providing essential health and safety logistics, such as road closures, legally required security personnel, first aid cover, and portable toilets. The expenses needed to run a safe and memorable festival are vast.

To ensure that Fair Day remains the day our children deserve, the volunteer committee relies entirely on community support and year-round fundraising.Every single ticket you buy for one of our fundraising events goes directly towards securing the future of the Fair.

Fantastic Events Throughout the Year

To help raise these essential funds, our committee organises a variety of fun-filled events across the town all year round. Whether you’re looking for a lively night out, family-friendly fun, or seasonal celebrations, there is always something on the calendar for everyone:

• From our popular Ladies Days and traditional Ceilidh to daytime discos and live music nights at local venues.
• Family & Festive Fun:Magical seasonal events like Santa’s Festive Brunch and special movie screenings that bring smiles to everyones faces.
