About Monte Fest

On the 29th January the rally cars are expected at Stirling Castle around 4:30pm. Before that there will be a free Monte Fest with live music, street food and classical cars on display.

For spectators there will be a "Monte Fest" in front of the castle to reflect some of the glamour of the event with entertainment, classic rally films and the chance to mingle with some of the competitors and their cars.

Lord Provost Rosemary Fraser said: “Stirling is proud to play host to the Scottish leg of the legendary Monte Carlo Rally; an event that captures the imagination of motorsport fans around the world.

“The rally has a rich heritage and spirit of adventure and we are delighted to welcome competitors, crews and visitors to share in this special occasion.

“I know the people of Stirling will turn out in force to cheer them on as these magnificent cars wind their way from the Castle through our streets on the next stage of their adventure.

“We wish all participants a safe and unforgettable journey as they head for Monte Carlo.”
