Festivals in Glasgow at a glance

Our Glasgow calendar has 3 listings under festivals: 3 with fixed dates. For 3 of 3, we read the dates on the organiser's own page. Every listing links to its organiser, so check opening times and tickets there before you travel.

When they happen

The busiest months for festivals here are January, March and August, counting each month an event runs in.

What our Glasgow guide says about those seasons:

Spring (March to May)
A good time for the Botanic Gardens, Kelvingrove Park and the waterfront walks.
Summer (June to August)
Long days for the parks and the Clyde, and for day trips to Loch Lomond or Stirling.
Winter (December to February)
Short days. Kelvingrove, the Burrell Collection, the Riverside Museum and the theatres carry an itinerary indoors.
