On Saturday, there is the Box Meeting main parade, which starts at 2.30pm at Port Seton Harbour.

It takes in Links Road and then Cockenzie High Street, where there will be traditional dancing outside the Thorntree Inn, before returning to the harbour for the closing ceremony at 5pm.

Festival-goers are encouraged to wear traditional dress and throw pennies into the boat that departs from the harbour.
