It is slated for Saturday the Twenty-Fifth day of July, and this year’s carnival is expected to be the best yet with developments and acts that represent the peoples and cultures of z active. In addition to being part of Scotland Year of Coasts and Waters 2020, the event is also going to be among national festivals and will promote the stunning and vital waterscapes as part of Scotland.
In the year 2020, the Glasgow Canal Festival will inevitably incorporate a spectacular Canal Carnival Flotilla, which will be the first time this boat parade to be staged in the festival. The flotilla will be boats decorated with beautiful artwork cruising the Forth and Clyde Canal in North Glasgow organized by Carnival Arts. The parade will have freshwater flow costume artists holding bright ropes around the neck of the boats in the manner of day boat horses.
The program of this season’s events will revolve around the issues of migration, identity, and diversity. The Film Festival will address these themes through various forms of art, such as film, literature, dance, and music, dedicated to the rich cultures and communities present in Glasgow.
Festival attendees will surely find entertainment in live music, dance performances, workshops, convenient sporting activities, and so on, as they will be along the beautiful stretch of the canal in Glasgow. The director of the festival, Sally Hobson, says that this year they are going to do something especially strange in the city: “This waterway is made possible because of the support received from the Years of Coasts and Waters programme, and we are glad to partner with Carnival Arts to deliver an amazing experience.”
The one held this year will be one of many festivals supported by the Scottish Government as part of the 770 000 pounds designated for coasts and waters activities in the country. Activities to promote cultural awareness, the sense of community and appreciation of the natural environment will take place along the stretch of the canal in Glasgow between Speirs Wharf and Firhill Basin.
The Glasgow Canal Festival 2020 presents a fantastic window on migration, identity, and diversity, along with many other activities within the contours of the canal in Glasgow. This activity is planned within the framework of the Year of Coasts and Waters in Scotland. Thus, it will be the most interesting and colorful event of the summer since all the communities and tourists will be gathered for the party. We hope that you will be free on the 25th of July and take part in the celebrational activities.
