Glasgow reveals city’s 850th birthday celebration events

Glasgow's birthday celebrations have been revealed 100 days ahead of the start of the city's 850th anniversary year.

A three-day music event, a pop-up social history exhibition and a food trail will be the foundation of the 2025 line-up, the city council said.

Established festivals and venues have been awarded funds to enhance their programmes in the city to mark the anniversary.

The Lord Provost will also host a civic programme of events in 2025 celebrating Glasgow's famous faces and community champions.

Events include a three-day Clyde Chorus event at the end of May, with performers from many musical genres performing in venues along the banks of the river.

A pop-up exhibition showing how Glaswegians of the past lived and worked will display some of the treasures from the People's Palace while the museum is closed for refurbishment.

Taste the Place - a self-guided online trail - will be launched in April to show the history of Glasgow's hospitality businesses and share the stories of the people who brought their traditional cuisines to the city
