The aim of the summer festivals is to engage and inspire communities to get involved and find out what's going on in their local area.

Working with local arts organisations, Platform & New Rhythms for Glasgow have commissioned artists to work with hundreds of children, young people and community groups to create costumes, props and lively performances for the carnival processions.
