Return of Galas and Other Community Festivals in South Scotland

Lodged by Martin Whitfield Standard Motion 13 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the full return of local gala days and weeks and other traditional festivals in communities across the South Scotland region this summer; notes that, due to COVID-19, galas and similar events were mostly cancelled or scaled down in 2020 and 2021, interrupting years of historic local activity, which aim to bring communities together and give so much pleasure to children and families; congratulates the 2022 gala queens and court members; thanks all of the committee members, other volunteers, families and businesses, who help ensure galas and other community days throughout South Scotland are able to take place, for their dedicated work on behalf of their local communities, and wishes all local galas and other festivals every success this year.
