Once more for the 75th year, Gala week has arrived in Broughty Ferry. With a tremendous mixture of activities,events and the legendary children's window guessing competition it promises to be one of the best Gala Weeks ever.
It has taken us, the organisers, 12 months to bring everything together and all we need now are lots of children, mums and dads, grans and granddads, aunts and uncles and of course lots of sunshine. While we cannot guarantee the weather we can guarantee lots of fun and laughter and a great start to the summer holidays.
After donations have been made to the various local charities, the remainder of the proceeds are used to purchase additional Christmas lights for Broughty Ferry.
We had a wonderful switch on in 2005 with several hundred people turning up to witness Santa arriving on his sleigh whilst children and adults enjoyed their complimentary sweets and mince pies. The Eastern Primary School choir sang a selection of carols with great enthusiasm and hopefully we will have an even better festive display this year.
May I take this opportunity to thank all who help at Gala Week also the many sponsors who year after year support our wonderful local family festival. Have a great summer and be sure to visit Broughty Ferry all year round as it really is a special place.
