High spirits and high jinx take to the streets during Merchant City Festival. Bringing real energy to the festival, street artists wander around, engaging with adults and children alike.

Merchant City Festival has moved in 2010, from the local September weekend to the ‘Fair’ weekend in July. For four fun filled days, 22 to 25 July, free performances pop up all over Merchant City…

From painting children’s faces to poignant dance from Portugal, these emotional, zany and brilliant acts are not to be missed.

Glasgow Merchant City Festival Street Acts

A group of skilled people who produce music from funnels attached to their heads sound like lots of fun..;-)  As does Orkestra del Sol, who combine requests from the audience with tight harmonies, cheeky humour and their own take on the brass band sound.  Excellent…

Perfectly in line with the bright and breezy feel of the festival, this year sees several acts entertaining us, before heading off the Edinburgh’s festival.  How cool is that?  Have a great time at this year’s Merchant City Festival.

Keep an eye over your shoulder, in case a street performer is sneaking up on you…;-)
