Glasgow's West End Festival kicked off last Friday the 13th, and activities are well underway. The festival comprises parades, music, dancing, and theater activities and is on until the end of June.
The West End Festival (WEF) is one of the major festival events in the Scottish Calendar and Glasgow’s largest cultural event, attracting over 110,000 people to free events and 39,000 to ticketed events in 2007.
This year the West End Festival continues to expand the variety of its programme, adding new venues, exhibitions, theatre productions, concerts, fairs, events and walks to a list of events which reflects Glasgow’s enthusiasm for all facets of culture and entertainment.
