There’s only one place to be this summer. Glasgow.
Glasgow 2026 Festival is a ten-week, city-wide invitation to gather, featuring spectacular new artworks, major cultural events, and loads of exciting opportunities to take part in sport, physical activity and fun workshops across every corner of the city, celebrating the return of the Commonwealth Games this summer.
From 23 May to 9 August, the Glasgow 2026 Festival will be truly unmissable. There’ll be moments of joy, wonder and collective celebration. The Festival will be brought to life by Glasgow’s diverse communities, creative industries, social enterprises, sport clubs, cultural organisations, artists and musicians, ensuring a cultural celebration that will live long in the memory.
You’re invited to explore themes of the Commonwealth and shared futures, while celebrating sporting endeavour and the rich cultural heritage of Glasgow and the nations and territories gathering for the Games.
From major commissions and events to unexpected moments in every nook and cranny of the city, this is Glasgow doing what it does best – opening its doors and welcoming the world to join in. This is how everybody – from Glaswegians to fellow Scots and visitors from around the world can feel part of Glasgow 2026.
This is what Glasgow does best - be part of it.
