About Biggar Bonfire

Listed Under Hogmanay Events / Community Events / Family and Kids Events

The bonfire in the South Lanarkshire town of Biggar is lit every Hogmanay at 9.30pm in the High Street.

At the start of the night, the festivities begin with a torchlight parade with pipers and drummers. Then the much anticipated bonfire begins, a tradition which is goes back many generations and even continued throughout WW2 when a candle in a tin replaced the bonfire as blackouts were in place.

Come and join us!
