Tranent Gala was formed in 1934 by the miners of Tranent who had the vision of bring the community together for a special family day. The Gala has been held at various venues in Tranent including Polson Park, the Juniors football field and Ross High Playing Field where we still have part of it to this day.
In the last 87 years the Gala has continued to be held annually with the exception of the 5 years during the second World War and 2 years due to the covid pandemic.
