We offered free entry tickets for all DEBRA UK members to DEBRA Fest 2025!
DEBRA Fest was back and for 2025 we had a whole lot of amazing stuff to shout about as we brought Montrose’s very own festival home again.
It was a day full of great music, fantastic food and so much more – all raising money for DEBRA. We had a stellar line-up of music and entertainment with loads of activities for all ages on the site. Think incredible musicians, DJs, dance acts, circus performers and much more. We also had some of the very best food trucks coming along to serve up street food favourites, as well as regular festival and local vendors.
Of course, we knew the odd one or two of you MIGHT fancy a little drink… We were excited to have The Golf Inn back this year to do the main bar, and welcomed Roos Leap who provided delicious cocktails and much more.
Of course, this event is about raising money and awareness – but it’s also about raising a smile and having a great time along the way.
Montrose is a family – we come together when anyone needs help. So DEBRA Fest is also a thank you to everyone in our lovely wee town. There really is something for everyone at this event.
