About me: Glasgow’s Merchant City Festival will return for its 7th year in 2008, running from Thursday 25 September to Sunday 28 September.
Attracting tens of thousands to Glasgow’s architecturally stunning and vibrant Merchant City area, the Festival presents a cutting-edge programme featuring the cream of Scotland’s theatre, music, visual arts, comedy, dance, film, food and fashion scene.
Discover opera singers in the courtyards performing alongside thrilling street theatre, iconoclastic comedy and music from every genre in the bars and on the street. In addition, the Festival even has a short film programme that screens films in usual venues such as estate agents, hairdressers and opticians. This year’s programme will also feature an exciting fashion show in conjunction with ChildLine Scotland.
The Merchant City Festival has attracted a remarkable range of supporters and contributors from festival directors to organisations such as Scottish Opera, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Magners Glasgow International Comedy Festival and BAFTA Scotland to showcase the best of what’s happening in Scotland. An international context is provided by the Directors’ Choice programme that presents a remarkable range of street artists selected from festival directors in Spain, France, Austria and the Netherlands.
All this plus fantastic fashion shops and some of the best bars, clubs and restaurants all within a five minutes walk from the Festival centre.
