The Comrie Fortnight is an annual festival held in the village, during July and August. The Comrie Fortnight was originally started by Jack Elliot and Mrs Palmer, in the late 1960's, to coincide with the traditional Glasgow Trades Fortnight. Scotland has local holidays at various times of the year, (eg September) and also trade fairs fortnight. Edinburgh's is the first two weeks in July, Glasgow's is the 3rd and 4th weeks in July.
