Glasgow’s Biggest Free Festival Returns

The Merchant City Festival is back bigger and better this summer, running from July 24th to August 2nd with more than double the events thanks to fresh funding — and most are free! For the first time ever, The Briggait is transformed into a cultural hub featuring Clydeside Commons with street food, DJs, and family-friendly activities inspired by the River Clyde. Kids can enjoy storytelling picnics with stuffed animals, creative workshops like Future Town Planners, and lively evening DJ sets with global and local talent. Candleriggs Square hosts a ten-day street food market with global flavors, live music, and a dedicated family zone. Highlights include a free family ceilidh on July 25th and a full family day weekend. All details and bookings are available on the Glasgow Life website.
