Idyllic surroundings, captivating lifestyle, festive events, live theatre, and much more, have all amused and beguiled residents and visitors for generations.
Whether a casual stroll on our beach and scenic boardwalk, an enchanting evening of fine dining in one of our many restaurants, or a relaxed, care free stay in one of our quaint Bed & Breakfasts or motels, the Municipality of Kincardine is a place of endless opportunity.
Since 1948, a unique and wonderful event takes place in Kincardine every summer Saturday night, rain or shine. At exactly 8 p.m., the Kincardine Scottish Pipe Band takes to the street, and followed by a throng of tourists and locals, marches down Queen Street and back again to perform in Victoria Park.
The band welcomes all pipers and drummers who happen to be in the area and have been host to musicians from all over the world. Pre-arranged permission is not necessary but proper dress is a requirement.
Financial support from the Friends of the Kincardine Scottish, contributions to the Wishing Well and numerous local businesses and Kincardinites have afforded us the opportunity to maintain our dress uniformly in the Kincardine Tartan.
We would like to invite you to enjoy our website, participate in our Saturday Night Parades and if you're familiar with the Great Highland Bagpipe accept an invitation to play some summer evening on our lighthouse.
