Bo'ness Fair 2022: Where to find the arches on Fair E'en

Families and the wider community have been busy in the last few months working hard behind the scenes to create arches for the youngsters involved in this year’s Children’s Fair Festival.

The flags and arches have been going up around the town this week and as tradition would have it, the community will be able to view the completed creations today.

Last year, some members of the retinue had arches in place for Fair E’en however it was on a much smaller scale in terms of the number of arches compared to a normal Fair year.

For 2022, the arch tradition returns in full force with more than 200 locations around the town included on the Fair website.
