This year we have a number of kiddies fairground rides, a twister ride as well as the ever-popular bungee trampoline.

In the centre of Colquhoun Square will be our Festival Stage where music and dance acts will perform over the two days, featuring many local acts. Returning this year on Sunday is our Classic Car Show, & there will also be a vintage fire engine!

We are planning for Frozen characters & penguins to be out and about in the Square giving photo opportunities for families. There will be a Tombola stall with some fantastic prizes to win all donated by local businesses.

Grey Matters are holding a knitted Penguin Hunt Competition supported by local businesses. The Rotary Club of Helensburgh & Lomondside is hosting Santa’s Grotto on Saturday and The Round Table Santa Dash is back on Sunday.

New for this year will be a Best Dressed Pet competition as well as a buskers corner. The Xmas light switch on is the week before, so the square will have a real Christmas feel and a great atmosphere!

The Helensburgh Winter Festival is a registered charity and relies on the help of volunteers all year round. If you wish to help in some way or volunteer over the weekend, please send us a message!
