Dumfries Market Festival welcomes producers, makers and crafters to Dumfries town centre

Producers, makers and crafters from across the region welcomed visitors to 26 stalls in Dumfries town centre on Saturday.

The sunny weather brought out the socially distancing crowds for the popular Dumfries Market Festival which ran from Queensberry Square right down to Fountain Square.

Organised by The Guild Dumfries, it gave local producers the chance to gain much needed sales after months of Covid-19 restrictions and was enjoyed by the public who took the opportunity to get out and about – many airing their thanks on social media afterwards.

The festival also included the bonus of live music on the Plainstains from St_Lucia_Dumfries, Kate Kyle Music, Dumfries and Galloway Youth Orchestra, young Rory Buglass and Bob Hollis. Dumfries Musical Theatre Group performed Annie.
