The ever popular Street Music Festival returns this August as part of this year’s Govanhill International Festival & Carnival.
The day-long event marks the end of the festival but the good news is events kick off at 12 noon and wrap up around 8pm, with multiple stages and venues being graced by different performers throughout the day.
Including a line-up of DJ sets, acoustic sessions, and other live acts and performances centred around music, movement, and other vocal acts like spoken word.
And for one day only, there will be a special re-branding of the Community Newsroom, which will become the Community MOVES Room; which will be graced by Moonslide (clown school mimes) who will be performing their Buff and Sheen routine in the newsroom window, and Capoeira performers Ponta-Cabeça – plus more!
