Are you coming along ?
Plans for this year’s Big Picnic & Parade are well underway – and it’s already shaping up to be a brilliant day for the Largo area!
It will be on the Lundin Links Common with a parade starting from Lower Largo on the 15th of June.
The event promises a great mix of stalls, games, music, food and fun for all ages. A wide range of local groups have already signed up to take part – from baking stalls and community information, to gardening advice, family activities and we expect a lot more.
This year, Largo Area Community Council are taking the lead on organising the Parade, and Largo Communities Together (LCT) are helping coordinate the wider event. It’s all about coming together as a community and showcasing the amazing things that happen locally.
Among those already confirmed are:
Largo Cricket Club, offering softball cricket and a chance to share your thoughts on their new pavilion plans
Fife Carers Centre and Alzheimer Scotland, providing helpful advice and information
Largo Parish Church and Horticultural Society, with stalls, homebaking and plant sales
East Fife RDA, bringing children’s games and a flower stand
Peacehaven, selling locally grown strawberries
Plus much more
We’re looking for more groups, families, clubs and individuals to get involved – whether that’s through a stall, activity, food offering or performance. It could be as simple as a game, a craft table, or sharing something you’re passionate about.
Important notes:
We’re not supplying equipment, so please bring any tables, gazebos or tents you need.
The next planning meeting is at the Paxton Centre on Monday 13th May –at 7pm open to anyone who wants to join in or learn more.
Let’s make this summer’s Big Picnic and Parade a joyful, inclusive celebration of everything our community has to offer.
If you’d like to take part, get in touch with Priya Logan at [email protected] or 07926 416857.

The Largo and Newburn Horticultural Show is also on this weekend |
|
The Largo and Newburn Horticultural Show is on at the Simpson Institute, Upper Largo this weekend. In the future we are going to make sure that the big picnic doesn’t clash with this long running event, and we hope that those who can manage to go along to both events and support them. This 9 year old article from the Lundin Links Weebly historical site shows just how long the Horticultural show has been running, and its interesting to see how times have changed and stayed the same !
