The Royal National Mòd 2024

Dates: Friday 11th October - Satuday 20th October

The Royal National Mòd

The Royal National Mòd is organised by An Comunn Gàidhealach (The Highland Association) which was founded in Oban in 1891. Famous for celebrating our Gaelic linguistic and cultural heritage, Scotland’s premier Gaelic festival provides opportunities for people of all ages to perform across a range of competitive disciplines including Gaelic music and song, highland dancing, instrumental, drama, sport and literature.

The support of organisations such as Caledonian MacBrayne,The Royal Mail Group and BBC Scotland has helped to consolidate the status of the Royal National Mòd as Scotland’s main Gaelic cultural festival.

The international dimension to the Royal National Mòd continues to grow with the support of EventScotland while the leading Gaelic language promotion and development organisations in Scotland including Bòrd na Gàidhlig, Comunn na Gàidhlig, The Gaelic Books Council and MG Alba all offer considerable support.

Mòd Fringe Programme

An exciting and wide-ranging programme of concerts, events, exhibitions and workshops has been announced for this year’s Royal National Mòd and will light up the town of Oban when the prestigious event makes its much-anticipated return between 11-19 October 2024.
