Oban Winter Festival

The Oban Winter Festival fills this west‑coast town each winter with lights, markets, concerts, parades and woodland installations. From mid‑November through December, people browse stalls of local crafts and festive food, as shop windows reflect the theme “Up, Up and Away”. Each evening, families trail through the Winter Woods in Glencruitten, while the town hosts torchlight processions, fireworks and ceilidhs. Sunday brings the Scottish Haggis & Whisky Festival at the distillery with prize ceremonies and tastings. Evenings end with music in the pubs and lights on the bay.
