The Tarbert Seafood Festival, set around Tarbert's natural harbour at the tip of Kintyre, is one of the area's main annual events held on the first full weekend in July (i.e. Saturday falls on 1st July or after).

Tarbert's harbour nestles just off of Loch Fyne, which offers the local fishing fleet access to some of the purist, healthiest and best tasting seafood in the UK and Europe.

This is definitely something to celebrate and promote. If you havnt been before to Tarbert or to the Seafood Festival we hope this website will give you a feel for what happens and encourage you to come and join in the fun.

2007 Saw the best ever programme featuring three big names in the world of television and music.

Seafood Queen 2006

Tarbert Seafood Festival Queen for 2006, Collette MacFarlane certainly did the village proud and was the focus of attention with princesses Jacquelin Clark and Cara Kemp by her side.

Who will be this year's seafood queen? You will just have to come along to find out and watch her sail across the harbour and be crowned in the traditional ceremony.
