Bungo in the Back Lanes

Strathbungo hosts the famed 'Bungo in the Back Lanes'. The summer festival is organised by the residents of Strathbungo. One Saturday every year they open up their gardens and clear out their garages. Stalls are set up in the back lanes, bouncy castles in the gardens, live music, wonderful food and most of all a great atmosphere.
It's a unique festival in a great area of the city, it's the community spirit and independent nature of the event that makes it stand out.

Strathbungo Society has an excellent wee website giving a brief history of the area and the work that they do to keep, the happy, leafy wee conservation area just off from Queens Park in tip top condition. There appears to be a really strong community feeling within the area which manifests itself in the various events that they arrange throughout the year - especially the "Bungo in the back lanes" event we posted about previously.

The site also has a store of useful contact details and information on the G41 area - including a list of shops, transport links and various trade contacts for the Southside area.
