we’re back

There’s something for everyone at Glasgow’s River Festival. As always, it’s free to enter, so hoist the mainsail, chart your course, and set sail for a busy weekend. We can't wait to see you there!


On SHORE

Not got your sea legs yet? Don’t worry, there’s plenty of action on dry land.

Try your hand at outdoor survival skills, traditional crafts, building techniques, or on-land rowing. Or leave the hard work to the professionals, and browse the collection of handmade, local products at the Clydebuilt Market.


On the water

On day 2 — enter the dragons! Tenacious Glasgow teams wanted to battle it out to become the Dragon Boat Racing Champions and win the coveted Dragon Trophy.
