The countdown is on to a full weekend of fantastic - and free - Christmas festivities on the banks of Loch Lomond this weekend.

The weekend will feature a great range of street food, children’s entertainers and rides, live entertainment, and a covered marquee for visitors to enjoy their street food and some refreshments from the outdoor bar.
Santa will be on hand to say hello to children in his magical grotto, while visitors can also create the perfect pictures and videos for social media at a festive lights outdoor ‘selfie trail’.
The festival will be open from 10am to 6pm on both days.
