Notice
Crowning Of Gala Queen Ceremony Switched To Market Square, Wick due To Soft Ground At Riverside
Following advice on safety issues of erecting the stage on the ground at riverside that has become saturated in the past few days the decision was taken to change the location to Market Square.  Floats and foot walkers will still begin at the usual place.  The route of the gala procession will be as in previous years and not as had been posted on anew route
