Kilbarchan's Lilias Day
Saturday 1st June 2024
Historic Parade
As far back as 1718, a parade through the village has been the highlight of the summer fair.
Welcome to Lilias Day
Lilias Day has been celebrated in the village of Kilbarchan for over 300 years. The centre piece of the event is a parade through the village with local pipe bands, decorated floats and a historic parade which celebrates the rich history of the village. This culminates in Kilbarchan public park where a whole host of entertainment awaits. We have something for everyone from kids entertainment, a music tent, Clamjamfrie ceilidh tent, food village and craft market. We’ll also have our Lilias Day favourites; the epic tug of war, stalls, a medieval village and activities for everyone to get involved in.
Join the historic parade
Do you want to help celebrate the rich history of the village. Take you pick from the famous Kilbarchan Weavers, the noble families of the past, or those who helped to change history such as Mary Barbour! Choose your costume and character at the Old Library Centre, Kilbarchan, on Saturday 16th March 11am - 3pm.
