What are the unique traditional festivals in Britain?

The16th Scottish traditional boating festival will be held in Portsoye, Aberdeen in early July. This festival will celebrate all aspects of Scotland's marine heritage, including the fine traditions of traditional shipbuilding and hull maintenance, marine music and weaving.

Boat Festival is one of the main activities in the year of returning to Scotland in 2009. This year's activities will be extended for two days, including a seminar for speakers. The theme of the conference is marine tradition, including early shipbuilding, construction of seaside shacks and "gansey" sweater weaving. The so-called gansey refers to a woven seamless fisherman's shirt coat, which is used for wind, sun and rain protection. Each village has its own unique gansey style, which is easy to identify when rescuing missing fishermen at sea.

Hazel, the fastest knitter in the world? Dindar will show his talents during the festival, and Norman, who is famous for knitting, knitting and singing, will play a great role. Norman Kennedy will also come back from America to find his roots.

Nigel. Nigel Allen-Allen? The designer of the sailboat driven by Ellen Ellen McArthur will be on the spot to discuss the current and future sailboat design. Bjorn of Norway? Alvy (Bj？ Rn Arve) and Johannesburg? Johanne Tvedten will help children understand the skills of shipbuilding and show them some traditional skills.

Musicians, singers and dancers from all over the world will also bring a series of traditional music and song and dance performances, including Norman? Norman Kennedy and shack expert Bob? Bob walser and others. In addition, a food fair will be held during the festival to introduce authentic local food produced by local and Scottish producers.
