REVIVAL OF THE WICK HERRING QUEEN FESTIVAL

7th June 2009

26 - 28 June 2009

Wick HarbourFest Committee, organisers of last year's very successful HarbourFest'07, have announced that they will be arranging another community event in 2009 which will further develop interest in the maritime and fishing heritage of Caithness. The festival will feature the return to Telford's harbour of a heritage fishing fleet and a re-enactment of the Herring Queen Festival and crowning, last held in Wick in 1953. The celebration will tie in with the national Scotland Homecoming 2009 programme and the organisers hope that many ex pat Caithnessians will return home to join in the celebrations.
