Carnival

We’re back again for a wonderful coming together of the community and this year’s line up might just be our best yet!
The Carnival will be held at the much-loved Queen’s Park and we promise you a concert showcasing the incredible talent and culture which makes this city so unique… and that’s not all! It wouldn’t be a celebration of the spirit, solidarity and vibrancy of Govanhill without our community stalls and family-friendly activities.
With art workshops including print your own free Govanhill Festival tote bag with Print Clan, face painting, games, bouncy castles, and much more to get involved in on the day – there’s something for everyone! These will be happening throughout the day over at the entrance to the main arena!Community groups wanting a stall or to host an activity, please contact:
