How exciting! The Merchant City Festival is now only a few weeks away. 300 eclectic events will unfold between 25 – 29 July, everything from street art, music, workshops, film, food, design and more – really something for every taste.
So with so much to see and do, I’ve already been looking through the hundreds of alluring events and picking my favourites.
One stands alone
But there’s one that literally stands above all others.
Sure there’s a few self-proclaimed ‘big men’ in Glasgow but there is only one Big Man Walking – a larger than life blue puppet who will make his way through Glasgow’s city-centre on Friday 27 and Saturday 28 July. And even though we’ve already met, I am looking forward to reuniting with my eight-metre high friend Big Man Walking.
He’s hard to miss – in fact; he’s unmissable so make sure you get out to see this impressive giant during the festivities. We’ll certainly be enjoying this and many of the other events on offer – and of course hoping for some well-deserved sunshine.
