The 2026 festival
Oban Winter Festival is confirmed for 2026, with local visitor information listing activity from 13 November to 20 December across various venues.
Programme and tickets
The festival brings together independent events rather than one continuous attraction. Some activities are free and others require tickets. Confirm the date, venue and booking status of each chosen event.
Winter travel
Central venues are accessible from Oban’s rail, bus and ferry links, but daylight is limited and west-coast weather can be wet and windy. Check live transport and road information.
McCaig’s Tower in winter
The tower can offer atmospheric winter views, but the steep paths may be wet, dark or slippery. Visit in daylight, wear secure footwear and do not expect shelter or event facilities at the monument.
