The Beltane Festival
17th-23rd June 2008
To the Peebles locals the Beltane Festival means a time to recall happy memories, dress up in costumes that you could only get away with at this time of year and a time to forget their worries. To 'incomers' the Beltane traditions are as much a mystery as they are bemusement. But it does not take long for them to feel included in the celebrations.
The town is covered with flags, decked with hardboard cutouts, decorated houses and red and white shop displays. During the week brass bands, pipe bands and lately cultural bands all take part at some point during the festive week.
The grown ups get as excited as the children and when required line the streets to cheer on the procession. At times the High Street can be 10 plus deep all trying to glimps a view of the newly crowned Beltane Queen or just as importantly their childs involvment on one of the supporting vehicles.
