However, part of the tradition on the Fair E’en is an opportunity to see the amazing arches and displays put on at the homes of the participants in the pageant.
And it’s not just the people of Bo'ness who take to the streets to walk round, they are joined by people from miles around.
Billed as Europe’s biggest children's festival, the Bo’ness Fair never disappoints as families and friends pull out all the stops to transform front gardens with towering arches.
