West End Festival
The White House Dowanhill Park 50 Havelock Street Glasgow G11 5JE
Independent, creative and dynamic, the West End Festival epitomises Glasgow’s vibrant West End. Only 15 years ago this was a small-scale week-long arts event, but since then it has become a major arts event that sends ripples through the western reaches of the city for over three weeks every June. One of the highlights is Festival Sunday in Kelvingrove Park, a family-friendly day when craft stalls, live music, a funfair and numerous food stalls take over the park, as well as a Mardi Gras parade with samba bands. Good summer fun.
