For one weekend each September, Dunbar turns into one big music venue, and this year it's Friday 25 to Sunday 27 September. There are almost 60 free gigs across 18 venues around the town, along with buskers on the High Street, showcases for young bands and plenty going on for families. Three ticketed headline shows top it off, with King Creosote opening the festival on the Friday, and Kathryn Joseph and Lomond Campbell and The Countess of Fife on the Saturday. The best way to do it is to wander from one venue to the next and see what you find. The full programme is on the festival's website.
