MAYDAZE
Archipelago, Sat 5-Mon 7 May; Glasgow Green, Sun 6 May.
May Day celebrations have gone through many variations in Glasgow but the one that rarely changes is the May Day Rally. Only this year, the celebrations are bigger and last longer with more things to see and do.
One of this year’s main attractions is the Archipelago, an inflatable walk-through sculpture which will dominate 1000 sq metres of Glasgow Green. The event will be open over three days allowing more people to visit, kick off their shoes and take a walk through this incredible edifice. ‘You will be
mesmerised by the bright colours,’ according to Lucy Shorrocks of City Media when you wander through this futuristic cathedral.
As well as the Archipelago, the Sunday will be crammed with festivities. The day starts at 11am when the rally assembles and starts to wind its way from George Square to Glasgow Green. Meanwhile, the Green will be working up to a day of entertainment with theatre, art, kids events and sport. Music lovers are also catered for with showcase tents as well as
