Streetlands 2011 - 29 - 30 April

After its hugely successful debut event last year, the Streetland Festival is back.  This year's festival (taking place Friday 29, Sat 30) will see a host of visual art, live performance, music, theatre, food, walking tours, street games and cinema all happening in and around Westmoreland Street in the heart of Govanhill.

We popped along last year and it really was a fantastic bit of community involvement in a really unusual and unique way. That has been reflected in this year's event being awarded £4000 from the Fairer Scotland Fund and the organisers being nominated for a Community Champion award in the Evening Times.

There are a  diverse range of events over the two days which will include established and emegering artists, here are just a few of the many events we're looking forward to;
The interplanetary postbox, by Angie Bual and Fergus Dunnet, "The ultimate Pakora Challenge" A cooking extravaganza on the streets of Govanhill, the Polyphony drummers playing in Westmoreland Street Garden, A guided walk around the overlooked architectural gems of Govanhill, with Roger Guthrie, Streetlands' outdoor Cinema, The Chalet prize exhibition, and the Glad Cafe night at the Pandora.

Get yourself along and support this unique festival.
