DOCUMENTING GLASGOW’S MERCHANT CITY FESTIVAL 2024

The Merchant City Festival 2025 is just around the corner and I’ll be photographing it again this year so I thought now would be the perfect time to share some of last year’s images.

The 2024 outing took place from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 July in Glasgow’s Merchant City district. Over the weekend, around 35,000 people enjoyed free outdoor arts and circus performances, interactive theatre, family ceilidhs, puppet shows, and science activities. There were daily markets, international street food, and evening live music. It was all very colourful and a joy to photograph. See some of the 2024 images below:
