In common with many Border towns and villages, Innerleithen holds a summer festival, in this case known as St Ronan's Games. The principal participants announce their roles by decorations and banners and the town is criss-crossed with blue and white bunting. This year's games were held from 13th to 20th July. Participation in previous games is on display as shown here.
