The Aberdeen International Youth Festival is the main international cultural event of Aberdeen. This amazing holiday provides young talents from Scotland and many European countries with the opportunity to demonstrate their talents on a big stage. During this event, hundreds of young musicians, dancers, artists, acrobats perform and entertain the public. The winners receive prizes and even monetary rewards. Fans of vegan lifestyle must attend the Aberdeen Vegan Festival held in late November. This is a comparatively young event but still, attracts many visitors. The main venue is the Pittodrie Stadium and claims to be the largest green celebration in the United Kingdom. Here you will be able to enjoy free vegan food, informative conferences, and cute, handmade Christmas presents.
In early July, every tourist to Aberdeen will be able to enjoy the Boat Festival. This is a fascinating event held on the ancient Portsoy harbor. Hundreds of the participants bring home-made boats, yachts, and other sailing vehicles and organize fun competitions. If you do not have any hand-made boat, then all you can do is to watch "regattas", listen to street musicians and have a snack from the city fair. If you came to Aberdeen with kids in November, be sure to check the Scottish Kids Show held in Aberdeen Exhibition & Conference Centre. This large exhibition displays all the necessary goods, products, and services for children of all ages, as well as their parents.
