It’s set to be biggest and best event yet - with 10,000 crowds expected on both days.

When is this year’s festival?

MacMoray Festival’s Summer Special will take place on Saturday, August 10, and Sunday, August 11, and will run from midday until around 11pm on both days.

You can do this any day before the event until 5pm, and also up to 4pm on the day of the event (on the 10th).

IT central is closed on Sunday.
