January 1st 2025 – Ne'erday Street Party

At no time of the year is Scotland’s distinctiveness more evident than at New Year and possibility nowhere in Scotland is New Year Day celebrated with so much gusto as in Pitlochry!

First held on January 1st 2000 to celebrate the new millennium, the Ne’erday Street Party was such a success it has become an annual event in the Pitlochry social calendar.

Each year more and more people travel to join locals and visitors in the fun and festivities held between 2.00pm – 4.00pm when Atholl Road, the town’s main street, is closed to traffic and a live ceilidh band takes to the stage. With local shops and charities supplying warming food and drink, there is no better way to start a new year than dancing in the street with friends old and new!
