Paul Lucas from Lomond Radio commented: “We’re delighted to further develop our long-standing relationship with Loch Lomond Shores and be part of these two great family festivals. It not only allows us to raise awareness of all the great things we’re doing at Lomond Radio but also helps in our dedication to promoting talented local musicians.”

With a big line up of local stage acts festival-goers will be entertained from 10am to 5pm with lots going on. And with children’s entertainers on hand throughout the weekend, including a stilt walker and bubble artist on Sunday, as well as children’s rides – there’s plenty going on off the stage too!

To keep visitors hydrated and fed, there will be a wide range of street food to complement our onsite options – including Jurassic Grill, Café Zest and Caffe at the Shores.
