Ballater Duck Festival

The annual Ballater Duck Festival is held on the 2nd June 2024 from 11am to 4pm, is a family fun day on the Village Green (AB35 5NE) in the centre of Ballater on Royal Deeside involving 50 plus  trades, craft and charity stalls, with entertainment for children including bouncy castle, bouncy slide and merry-go-round.

As well as the local shops, restaurants and cafes, there are food stalls on the Green including burgers, pizza and donuts.  The Ballater Pipe Band plays and there’s live musical entertainment on the stage plus many other events on the Green, culminating in a giant inflatable duck race on the River Dee and a Tote if you fancy a ‘flutter’ on one of the ducks.

Stallholders can apply for a pitch at this year’s event by contacting ballaterducks@gmail.com and requesting an application form.
