Fife Climate Festival 2025
Fife Climate Festival is back for its third outing this Autumn, shining a spotlight on the inspiring ways communities across the region are taking action on the climate emergency and building a fairer, greener future for everyone.
Running from 20th September to 19th October 2025, the month-long celebration will feature events organised by local groups right across Fife, from cycling and walking activities to repair cafés, film screenings, garden tours and community open days.

The festival is led by Fife Climate Hub with support from Climate Action Fife, and funded by the Scottish Government and the National Lottery Community Fund, the festival invites all local groups to join in. From sports clubs to community councils, if you’re already active on climate issues or simply climate curious, you can be part of the festival programme.
Wee Day Oot
We are marking the mid-point of the festival with a Wee Day Oot. This is a full day of free, family-friendly fun celebrating community and connection. Taking place at Lochore Meadows Country Park on 4 October, the Wee Day Oot is a chance to meet the everyday changemakers behind local community groups, discover practical support for your family and explore ways to get involved.
This year’s theme centres around celebrating Fife’s proud industrial past and exploring new opportunities for former coalfield areas to thrive in the future.
Events organised by our partners
Last year Fife Climate Festival took place between Saturday 21st September and Saturday 5th October 2024.
Fife Climate Festival 2024
We celebrated community climate action with a programme filled with inspiring and interesting events and activities. It was designed to celebrate the great climate action work already happening within Fife, show what we can all do to make a difference and inspire positive action to tackle the climate emergency.
Dozens of community groups hosted 75 events all over Fife, with at least one event taking place each day of the festival.
The festival was presented by Climate Action Fife and delivered with support from Fife Climate Hub. It was supported by the National Lottery Community Fund’s Climate Action Fund and the Scottish Government.
The trail









Community organisations around Fife hosted dozens of events at a range of locations as part of the festival. These included walks, cycle rides, beach cleans, film screenings, talks, workshops and more.
We worked in partnership with Fife Climate Hub to build on the inaugural Fife Climate Festival earlier this year and encourage groups to across the region to organise events.
Over 70 events took place across the two weeks, 20 more than made it into our printed programme! Thank you to everyone who took part by hosting or attending an event.
Big day Oot
We closed the festival with an exciting Big Day Oot on Saturday 5th October at Silverburn Park, Leven. Over 680 people attended!
There was lots of exciting activities for all ages including a nature walk, storytelling, bushcraft, yoga and delicious food!
