Broughty Ferry Gala 2016 Gets off to a Great Start

Despite changeable weather, The 2016 Broughty Ferry Gala Fete earlier today was, once again, a tremendous success attracting over 3,000 people to Castle Green Park to join in the family fun. 

The picture shows the winners of the Fancy Dress Competition.

Gala week runs from 3rd - 10th July 2016 so there's still a whole week more of seaside fun to be had in The Ferry – whether its window spotting and all the other competitions for children which run all week, or the car boot sale and the Secret Gardens of Broughty Ferry next weekend.

Further details about all the activities during the remainder of Gala week area are available in the Gala Week programme available to read or download.

All the Fun of The Ferry Gala Fete

Yesterday, the Gala Fete attracted a good number of folk to Castle Green for the Gala Fete.

Central Broughty Ferry was busy too. The increase in visitor numbers was reflected in the jostle for parking spots, especially in the streets around  Castle Green.

The threatening clouds in the sky, never delivered the down pour which at one point seemed imminent. Despite quite a fierce wind, the queue at the ice cream van was pretty consistent.


Thanks to Gerry Stewart and her organising committee for another memorable and enjoyable Gala Fete.

Well done!
