This Weekend 18-20 June

Saturday should be a day of sunshine and wandering (fingers crossed for the sunshine)
It's the third Saturday of the month so the farmers market will be taking place in Queen's Park 10am - 2pm.

Govanhill Community Baths Trust invite you to celebrate Refugee week with them at their free garden party on Saturday. Events will be held in and around the Peace Garden on Calder Street. There will be a variety of music performances from local people and groups including: The Roma Music Group, Ceildh fiddle music and Glasgow Drumming performance. There will also be art, puppet making and flower making workshops for children and their families as well as face painting and multi cultural food. 11am - 4pm

From 1pm - 4pm Bungo in the Back Lanes will be taking place in and around the back lanes of Strathbungo. Park yourself in the Big Bungo Tea Garden, take in the sounds of the Southside with La Roche Rumba in the beer garden or if Jazz is more your thing head over to Queen's Lane to the real ale and wine tent. There is loads for the kids with a bouncy castle, face painting, arts and crafts with busy bees, and lots of childrens games. Come along and have lunch Shimla pinks will be serving up pakora and samosas, Tricia and John's BBQ will be on and they will be serving their famous burgers, as well as several other stalls serving food. If you are looking for plants then the New Victoria Gardens will be selling plants, herbs and veggie plants all grown locally.

Pollokshaws are holding their annual carnival at Greenbank Park on Netherauldhouse Road. The parade will start at 11.30am at Shawbridge arcade, then will travel down Shawbrige Street into the park.

Albert Drive Studios are  hosting 'Southern Light', an exhibition of new paintings from France by David Caldwell opening at 3pm there will be french food and wine, and music from 'The Sweetheart Revue'and a Klezmer band too. The music starts at 5pm so even if you are going to the Govanhill Garden or Bungo in the Back Lanes you'll still have time to get over to Polloksheilds.

Why not take a wander down to the farmers market, then spend some time at the Govanhill Garden Party. You can wander through Bungo in the Lanes and head on up to Albert Drive Studios.

On Sunday the MHFS Mens 10km is taking place on Sunday morning starting and finishing in Bellahouston Park. If you are not taking part you could go along and cheer the runners on click here for the route map.
