Summer Festivities

The first festival was a small affair over a few weeks in the summer and over the years it has continued to grow.

The events now commence at the beginning of May, involve a 4 day Jazz Festival in June and continue throughout the summer with a final flourish of a Grand Parade and magnificent Tattoo at the end of August.

Kirkcudbright Half Marathon

The 28th Kirkcudbright Academy Half Marathon will take place on Saturday, 28th May 2011.

The Kirkcudbright Academy Half Marathon is organised and run entirely by volunteers. Without their help, the half marathon wouldn't be the success that it is.

The race began 28 years ago as a fundraiser for the Academy and continues to be a valuable asset to the Academy's, and Kirkcudbright's, annual events. www.kahm.org.uk
