After a two year hiatus due to Covid, Strathbungo Window Wanderland will return, in spectacular style, on Saturday 25th February!
Date: Saturday 25 February 2023
Time: 6-9pm
Location: Strathbungo, Glasgow, G41
Cost: Free and unticketed. All welcome!
Now in its 5th year and fast becoming a cultural highlight of the community calendar, this vibrant southside neighbourhood will play host to a street party like no other as residents transform their windows into a dazzling display of colour, creativity and community spirit.
The Guardian described the last event, in 2020, as ‘a glorious psychedelic playground… a retina-shredding explosion of pop culture’ and this year’s return promises to be just as incredible, transforming our streets into a spectacular outdoor gallery for all to enjoy.
Previous years have seen incredible performances in front rooms, amazing projections onto buildings, dance parties, giant human jukeboxes, intricate installations, pop up bingo halls, hair salons and tattoo parlours and music filling the streets….
Locals are busy plotting, designing, painting, borrowing ladders and rigging lights all in the name of creating a beautiful walking trail through the area. We imagine the ups and downs of the past two years will provide rich fodder for many residents planning their displays! And the human jukebox will be back.
Organiser, Sarah Reid, explains: ‘After such an unsettled period, that has been stressful and isolating for so many, it feels more exciting than ever to be organising this event that brings so much joy and magic to so many. Window Wanderland highlights what’s so special about our community and the beautiful and incredible things we can do when we come together.’
Note: This is a walking event and we ask that visitors please use public transport to get to the event. Residents are asked to plan ahead and avoid driving in the area if at all possible.
