Aberdeen Torcher Parade
Each year, on the last Saturday in April, Aberdeen University Students hold a night torch parade from Marischal College through Union Street and up to Queen's Cross. This annual event is the largest student torch-lit parade in Europe. With over 2,000 students in fancy dress and various decorated floats, the parade helps raise money for local and national charities.
