Local Events in Livingston

You can find what’s happening across Livingston each week, helping residents and visitors stay informed. In Livingston Village, centred around Kirkton Business Campus, a blend of historic roots and commercial energy drives consistent activity year-round. Regular gatherings include arts showcases at The Centre, seasonal festivals connecting communities from Deans to East Calder, and initiatives hosted in spaces like Almondvale Stadium or Howden Park Centre.

Almond Valley offers a different rhythm, defined by riverside walks along the River Almond through green corridors such as Beecraigs Country Park. Community-led events take place at Eliburn Park and Kirkton Business Campus, with participation drawn from nearby areas including Winchburgh, Knightsridge, and Bathgate. These gatherings often reflect local heritage, such as those tied to Livingston’s original development phase in Deans or its designation as a new town.

Landmarks like the Livingston Designer Outlet serve not only as retail destinations but also host year-round events: pop-up markets featuring produce from East Calder farmers; live music sessions by River FM performers at Almondvale Regional Centre; and family-friendly workshops run with organisations based at Howden Park Centre.

Events such as the West Lothian Festival of Arts, Livingston Food Festival, Zambia Independence Day Parade, and the Stay Different monthly campaign contribute to a civic rhythm that persists year-round. These are not fleeting highlights but part of an ongoing network of local engagement shaped by community memory and institutional continuity across neighbourhoods from Deans to Bathgate.
