Paint the Town Tartan is Aberdeen Inspired’s campaign to bring colour and energy to Aberdeen city centre during Scotland’s World Cup 2026 run.
We’re asking businesses across the city centre to decorate their premises with tartan, Scottish-themed displays and messages of support for the squad before they head to the USA next month.
A limited number of free activation packs – including tartan bunting and balloons – are available on a first come, first served basis. Packs must be collected from the Aberdeen Inspired office.
We’d also love to hear about any World Cup-themed offers, events or experiences you’re running so we can help promote them across our social media channels.
To get involved, email kate.kenyon@aberdeeninspired.com by Thursday 29 May with your business details, whether you’d like an activation pack, and any offers or events you’d like us to share.
