If restrictions allow, an afternoon of Scottish games in Central Park is planned for Saturday, September 26, 2020. More details will be available closer to the date.
Meanwhile, the hiatus has given the committee more time to plan what they say will be a 'bigger and better' festival for 2021.
With the Bonnie Wingham Scottish Festival 2020 having been cancelled the committee is already busy planning a bigger and better festival for 2021.
"Next year we plan to have more Scottish bands, more Scottish clans, more stalls, more caber tossing and haggis throwing and, all in all, more fun for everyone," committee member Bill Beach said.
To help publicise next year's Bonnie Wingham Scottish Festival, local artist Ron Hindmarsh donated his time and creativity to make a new Scotsman to be displayed in Taree.
