Taste of Garioch: North East’s Premier Food Festival

Event Cancellation: Taste of Garioch 2025 - Sunday 31st August, Inverurie.

It is with a heavy heart that we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel tomorrow's outdoor Food Festival: Taste of Garioch.

The safety of every single person who makes this event possible—our visitors, our volunteers, and our amazing local suppliers—is our number one priority. With gusts of wind expected to be over 40 mph, it’s just not safe to go ahead. We are a voluntary committee and a charity, and our duty of care to you all is what's most important.

We simply cannot risk the potential hazards that come with such high winds, including the possibility of gazebos and other temporary structures being lifted away and becoming dangerous. This was not a decision taken lightly. Again, the safety of our attendees, volunteers, suppliers, and the general public is our absolute priority.

We understand this is disappointing news, but we are not alone in this decision. Other outdoor events in the region are also being cancelled for the same safety reasons.

This news is devastating to our volunteers who have put in countless hours in the months leading up to this event. We appreciate your understanding and continued support, and we look forward to welcoming you back to a safe and successful event next time.
