Kelso Civic Week

0 Conversations

Kelso Civic Week is relatively new Border festival, orginating in 1937. The Kelso Laddie is the pricipal here and it is basically just to get town pride flowing.

Since there is less history to this festival, Kelso's events are generally more celebratory and lighter, being geared to families, than the events of the older Border Festivals.

Highlights include a sports day, fireworks display, Fancy Dress and Float Parade, an Art Exhibition and the Civic Week Ball.

Kelso is actually one of the older towns in the Borders.

Date founded
