One of the main highlights of the Festival is the massed pipe band performances marching on the grass fields twice per day. All of the pipers and drummers at the Festival (up to 500 performers) participate in these massed performances which are watched by thousands of spectators. Most spectators agree that listening to the pipes and drum performances is a very exhilarating and emotional experience!
Another exciting event at the Festival is the drum major performances held throughout the weekend.
