After a successful 2024 festival, comprising over 130 events and reaching total audience numbers of over 110,000, the third annual WestFest will take place this year from 1st to 29th June.
WestFest 2025 will feature the usual mix of street festivals, concerts, community events, recitals, and exhibitions. Attendees can also look forward to the return of some festival favourites such as Big Sunday @ Kelvingrove Bandstand, Bard in the Botanics, the Glasgow Vintage Bus Tour and the ever popular Kelvingrove Outdoor Ceilidh.
The highlight for many will be the colourful, free programme of outdoor events that the festival has become known for. These are set to be announced in mid April but it’s expected that there will be a mix of old and new events at venues such as Kelvingrove Bandstand, Glasgow Botanic Gardens and Mansfield Park.
In addition look out for superb galas, street theatre, cabaret, choral events, brass band concerts and lots more!
Bard in the Botanics are delighted to be returning to Glasgow Botanic Gardens for Summer 2025 with their 'magic - mayhem - and murder' season!
