Glasgow’s West End Festival gets off with the traditional opening day Mardi Gras parade in Kelvingrove Park on Sunday. Countless bands will be playing and there will be heaps of stalls selling crafts, grub and grog.
The blog liked the name of the Samba Ya Bamba band, a name that seemed to neatly sum up the many qualities shared between Brazil and Glasgow.
Loads of 5pm member restaurants and bars are getting involved. We’re not going to list everything here but the following caught our eye:
A BBQ taking place on Saturday and Sunday at the Butchershop Bar and Grill
Make Your Own Cocktails at the Grosvenor
The West End Barbie at The Bothy
Gin and rum tastings in Brel
