I’m excited to be a part of this fantastic event being held at Kellands Park on Sunday! Come and visit our stall!
Inverurie to Host the Inaugural Garioch Pipe Band Championships
Sunday 29th June 2025 will see Inverurie transformed into a celebration of Scottish tradition and community pride as the first-ever Garioch Pipe Band Championships take place at Kellands Park.
Organised by Inverurie BID, Inverurie Events, and the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association (RSPBA), this major new event will welcome 14 pipe bands performing across 22 competitive performances, with groups travelling from across the North East and as far afield as Edinburgh.
The championships are free to attend and are set to draw thousands of visitors for a day filled with music, culture, and family entertainment.
A Showcase of Scottish Talent and Local Spirit
Beyond the competitive performances, attendees can enjoy a lively event village featuring over 60 vendors, including street food, gifts, crafts, local charities, community groups, face painting, sweet and savoury treats, and more. A beer tent, mini fun fair, and a grand parade through Inverurie’s town centre will round off the day’s festivities in spectacular fashion.
Local businesses have also embraced the event, with shopfront displays and themed decorations appearing across the town to welcome visitors and celebrate the occasion.
Support from the Business Community
The event is proudly sponsored by I&K Motors, whose Managing Director, Steve Innes, shared his enthusiasm:
“I am delighted to sponsor the inaugural Garioch Pipe Band Championships in Inverurie. Inverurie Events are to be congratulated for organising the event, and I am sure that it will be of great benefit, not only to the attendees, but for pubs, restaurants, and shops in Inverurie, as it is anticipated that thousands of people will descend on our town. I hope the weather is kind, and that everybody enjoys the great community spirit that we offer here in Inverurie.”
