At the time of the Callander Charrette there were an estimated 85 groups in Callander. Since then, the number has dwindled. Some groups have disbanded, and others have sprung up in their place. We have a very healthy performing arts cohort in the town and, when restrictions allow, they will be back to entertain us again.
Two casualties of the lockdown are the Summer and Winterfest but there are plans underway to, at least, revitalise the Winterfest so that we can celebrate Christmas in our inimitable style.
Most of the groups listed here are open to either volunteers or members and welcome new participants.
