Following another successful year in 2011, this coming June sees the 17th anniversary of what is undoubtedly now Glasgow's most popular festival, and one of the top 3 or 4 in Scotland. Over a million people have attended free and paid events since the event started in 1996, and we have plans to make the event better than ever in 2012 and beyond. It will be the highlight of the Glasgow calendar!

THE FESTIVAL
Welcome to the 17th West End Festival, Glasgow's most extensive and exciting cultural event. Since its foundation in 1996, over 1 million people - 25% from outside of Glasgow - have attended nearly 5,000 free or ticketed events and each year over £750,000 is injected into the local economy as a direct result of this wide-ranging, community-rooted celebration. This year all kinds of music, theatre, children's authors, talks, open days, guided walks and family weekends make up the 400 plus events on offer to you. Many of them are free. Do come along and support Glasgow's Favourite Festival!
