Mention has been made of the Annual Market held in March and October, but by far the most important events in the Ceres calendar were the 2 days in June, when on the first day the Market was held, and on the second day the "Fair" or "Games" were held. Ever since Bannockburn Games have been held on the green) except during the War years so far as is known. The King's Charter granting the villagers the right to hold a Market and a Fair on June 24th and 25th has long been lost to sight and the Market no longer takes place. The date is now always fixed for the last Saturday in June and the old name of "Plack and Penny Day" has been replaced by "The Ceres Games". On that day, the "world and his wife and family" stream into Ceres, coning from far afield to crowd round the green or throng the bank along the side of the arena. In the centre of the "ring", dancers compete, sturdy athletes toss the caber and the sheaf. Round the perimeter go the racing cyclists and the afternoon culminates in the "Ceres Derby". The small ring provides an exciting spectacle and on one occasion one of the entrants and his horse ended in the burn The day started officially about noon when Ceres Brass Band assembled in the High Street and led the Free Masons from their Lodge through the village to the green. Though Band and Free Masons have long passed into memory, the Games President or a Member of the Committee leads the Pipe Band through the village to the green.

At Halloween there is another regular celebration of an old custom when the "guisers" go round the village and perform their "sing or say" in return for some reward. "Guy Fawkes Night" is always remembered and a huge bonfire is built in the centre of the Bow Butts. For days beforehand, small groups of children are seen wheeling barrows laden with paper, cartons, boxes etc., while the older ones cart along anything from old tyres to discarded armchairs.

In Ceres, there are various activities and organisations connected with young and old. A Brownie Pack, a Cub Pack, the Monday Club, as well as a Nursery School and the organisations connected with the Church are all attended regularly.

There are Bowling and Tennis Clubs. The Curling Club was founded in 1857 and has its pond beside the Tennis Court and Bowling Green, but the outdoor game is not often played nowadays, most of the curlers going to the indoor rinks at Kirkcaldy and Perth.
