Fergus Scottish Festival campsite reservations available Jan. 26

On Jan.. 26 at noon, the Fergus Scottish Festi­val and Highland Games camp­site reservations will be avail­able.

In prior years, campsite bookings began in May, but organizers decided this year to bring the date forward to a less hectic time of the year for festival office administration.

Serviced sites are $125, and it is $100 for unserviced, for the whole weekend, regard­less of the length of stay. Camp­sites are limited to a maximum of eight people per site and all campers must have and wear a valid wristband for each of the days that they plan to be on the festival site.

Campers can check in as early as 3pm on the Thursday, ­Aug. 6, and stay as late as noon on Monday, Aug. 10. Every site receives one pass for a vehicle to access the camping area only, and only one vehicle per site is allowed. Additional park­ing may be purchased for a nominal fee of $5 per day per vehicle. There will be no re­funds for campsites or passes.

Reserve a campsite by phone at 519-787-0099 or 1-866-871-9441; or in person at the festival office at 398 St. Andrew Street West, or on-line at www.fergusscottish­festi­val.com.  Visa and MasterCard are accepted.

Reservations will not be available prior to Jan. 26 at noon. Campsite confirma­tions will be sent at the com­pletion of the registration peri­od.

The 64th Scottish Festi­val and Highland Games run Aug. 7 to 9.
