The Merchant City itself is one of Glasgow’s most historic quarters. Once the hub of the city’s 18th-century trade and glamour, during the festival it’s a buzzing mix of creativity, pop-up performances, artists, foodies, and free-spirited fun. The festival takes over the streets with jaw-dropping street theatre, international acts, local talent, markets, live DJs, and something brilliant around every corner. From circus performers to gourmet food trucks and family-friendly workshops, there’s truly something for everyone.
