The Horncliffe Salmon Procession is an annual winter festival in the village of Horncliffe, Northumberland, celebrating the River Tweed’s historic salmon fishing heritage with a torchlit parade of handmade lanterns, traditional music (often featuring Border Morris dancers like Rag Bag Morris), food, and a bonfire, marking the end of winter darkness and the return of spring, while also honoring the village’s deep fishing roots dating back to Roman times.
