Strut your (third sector) stuff
At the heart of Celebrate Aberdeen is its parade. The best and brightest of the city’s social enterprises, charities and voluntary organisations will take to Union Street on Saturday, 27 August. Look out – this year’s procession promises to be brighter, bolder and noisier than ever.

Organised, by a team of volunteers, Celebrate Aberdeen is a unique celebration which has been held in the city every summer since 2011. The parade element of the event was first held in 2011 and has brought together more than 3,500 people from 130 diverse third sector organisations on each of the four occasions it has taken place. In 2014 a weekend of musical performances was added to the mix aimed at showcasing local talent. But the philosophy of Celebrate Aberdeen remained the same, namely that of community spirit, volunteering and civic pride.
We hope you will join in with the celebrations!
Celebrate Aberdeen has already seen more than 70 charities, social enterprises and voluntary groups sign up for this year’s third sector parade and around 30 entertainers register to perform at various locations throughout the city centre. The weekend, which is being held on 27 and 28 August 2016, brings together volunteers, third sector organisations and musical performers to give recognition to their collective efforts.
