Thanks to funding, Falkirk Delivers arranged lots for the younger members of the family to take part in, including face painting, circus tricks and a Wallace Trail.
As well as the events in the town centre, there was also the annual commemoration ceremony at the cairn in Callendar Park which marks the 1298 battle, one of the most famous of the Scottish Wars of Independence.
