Summer festivals set to be brought to Glasgow’s East End this July

Glasgow’s East End is getting set to host two festivals this summer as Platform is running Alexandra Park festival day this Saturday, July 22 and The Bridge Family Festival Day at The Bridge, Easterhouse on Saturday, July 29.

Admission to both the events is free with them both running from 12pm-4pm and masses will be happening at both with stalls, entertainment, music, kids rides, inflatables and face painting amongst other things.

One of the most exciting events will be the wrestling which is always popular with IGPW Champion Levi, The Young Lioness Angel Hayze and Scotland’s top tag team Arcade Violence being involved. As well as the live show there’ll be live training demonstrations as well as some exhibition matches throughout the day at Alexandra Park which will be rounded off by an over the top rope elimination match - “The Ally Park Rumble”.

Artistic Director for Platform, Matt Addicott said: “We’re excited about both festivals and bringing entertaining and interactive days out to families and everyone in the area - and beyond!

“Both festivals will have performances, dancing, rides for children, art activities for everyone and loads of community groups and organisations will be hosting stalls too. We’ll also have face painting, balloon modelling, sports activities and food and drinks to get stuck into – fun for all the family. We can’t wait!”.
