The West End is the heart of Glasgow’s cultural scene, and early summer is when it truly shines. Two standout festivals are:
Ashton Lane Street Party (31st May – 1st June): This cobbled lane transforms into a vibrant hub of live music, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere that’s quintessentially Glaswegian.
WestFest (1st – 29th June): A month-long celebration featuring outdoor ceilidhs, puppet shows, live music, and more. It’s a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the local culture and community spirit.
