Festival of the Sea 2012

Dates for your diary: 18 - 28th May 2012
The second biannual Festival of the Sea organised by SAMS. The Festival of the Sea is a community festival that celebrates our spectacular marine environment and demonstrates the defining role the sea plays to people living in and visiting this part of Scotland. It aims to increase knowledge and awareness of the importance of the sea and to support people in building a more sustainable relationship with the marine environment.

“We want to offer the broadest possible range of quality events to attract even more people to attend than in 2010 when the 50 festival events had a total of nearly 5200 visitors,” said Dr Anuschka Miller, Head of Communications at SAMS who has been directing the Festival. “We hope to have workshops, performances, readings, open days, sport events, exhibitions, talks, demonstrations, beach events, food events and more. We’d also love to see the town and shops decorated in a marine theme!”
