Govanhill Festival Celebrates 10 Years | Glasgow News

Govanhill’s tenth annual International Festival and Carnival drew over ten thousand people, celebrating music, art, and community spirit across twenty-seven vibrant locations for sixteen days — all while honoring the 25th anniversary of the historic occupation that birthed the Govanhill Community Baths Trust. A new award, the Pineapple Trophy (named after a protest pineapple), will be given every year for two decades to honor grassroots activism and change-makers. Powered by local passion and backed by Creative Scotland and the Scottish Government, this festival proves that resistance and joy can coexist — and that Govanhill’s community-driven energy is stronger than ever, with plans already underway for an even bigger eleventh edition in 2027.
