It struck me as I was strolling home from work today, sans rickety umbrella and glued-on frown, that summer is here...yes yes believe it or not, Glasgow does recognise British summer time. And what better way to celebrate the long days and shower tinged sunshine than with a jam-packed, multi-arts festival in Glasgow's leafy west end.
The West End Festival is Sweet 16 this year and has a cracking programme of events organised. Kicking off this Friday (3 June) the Festival runs for 3 weeks and features 600 events and acts which cater for every taste, whim and fancy, from classical music to folk, rock and jazz, dance and theatre, guided walks and gala days...and last but not least, gin tasting.
The opening parade takes place this Sunday in and around Kelvingrove Park and is set to attract tens of thousands of people from all over the city. Festival Sunday features a Mardi gras style parade, craft and food stalls and live music over several stages. There's always a really good buzz, grab yourself a drink and enjoy a spot of people watching on a (fingers-crossed) sunny afternoon.
