LET'S MAKE A 2022 DATE

We're all yearning to be back together sharing fun and friendships at Victoria's premier celebration of traditional and contemporary Scottish culture - Scots Day Out Bendigo.

We are pleased to announce that the date planned for the return of SDO - after being forced to skip 2021 due to COVID restrictions - will be Saturday March 5.

As the last major Scottish celebration held in Victoria before the pandemic struck, we have continued to hold hope of being back in Bendigo's amazing Rosalind Park sooner rather than later.

Like organisers of all major events in regional Victoria, there remains the need for further easing of restrictions and revised guidelines that are both practical and realistic for outdoor events in our country cities and towns. However, being eternally optimistic, we are now beginning to progress arrangements for the return of SDO in 2022.

Over the next two months, we will continue to put plans in place, talk with stakeholders and if able to present SDO in a COVID-compliant way, arrangements will be locked in.

At this time, we want to give our performers, stallholders and the amazing people who have continued to give their support and encouragement to SDO the heads up that we want to be back next year (missing one year was one to many for a lot of you).
