‘Thrilled’ with award
Dear Editor:
On May 5, the Fergus Scottish Festival was honoured to receive the Cultural, Arts and Tourism Impact Award at the Centre Wellington Chamber of Commerce’s 26th annual Awards of Excellence.
This award is presented to an individual, business, organization or group that has made a significant impact on cultural, arts or tourism within Centre Wellington, putting the community on the map to drive economic growth and awareness.
The Fergus Scottish Festival and Highland Games is thrilled to have received this award, which is a testament to the hard work of our entire team, particularly with respect to our 80th Anniversary Celebration in 2025.
This success belongs to our dedicated volunteers, sponsors, partners, performers and competitors as well as the thousands of guests who join us each year for “Scotland without the airfare” – we simply could not achieve this without them.”
Save the date – Aug. 7 to 9, 2026 – for even more celebrations of Scottish heritage with the 81st Fergus Scottish Festival.
Further details and news is also available on the festival website.
Elizabeth Bender,
Executive director,
Fergus Scottish Festival
