The Southside Festival

On Saturday the first ever southside festival took place, in Queens Park. The festival kicked of with the parade which left from Shawlands academy at 12 o clock, the parade continued along Pollokshaws road, Allison street and then up Victoria road and into the park. Linda Fabiani, the minister for culture, opened the festival.
There were several music tents as well as dance and comedy - so when it rained you could keep dry. There was also stages out in the open so when the sun did shine you could sit in the sun and listen to the music. There were huge queues for the kids rides.
The camp at the top of the park was quite amazing with three battle reinactments during the day.

The Glass house held the 'Southside Flavours' event which celebrated the cultural diversity of the southside. Lots of food stalls selling food from different ethnic groups as well as local deli's like 1901.
