Nithraid River Festival on 24th August 2024, was a participatory fun-filled afternoon for all the family that celebrated our natural environment. The colourful procession carried the Salty Coo from Dumfries High Street down to the River, together with the EcoArt LAND flags which were flown along the suspension bridge for the duration of the event.
