Established in 1979, the Dumfries and Galloway Arts Festival aims to bring international performers to a region with scattered rural communities that would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience such talent. The exhibitions and events take place in the town of Dumfries and in many villages throughout the district. The range is wide, including art and sculpture exhibitions, live classical, jazz and folk music concerts, dance, theatre, literary events, children's events and films.
