Upcoming Events

Our event calendar covers Community Council activities, as well as major events affecting the Merchant City & Trongate area. We don’t list processions that pass through the MCTCC area, as there are too many – you can find out about upcoming processions by visiting Glasgow City Council’s Public Processions page.

We’d also like to feature upcoming events run by groups in our community – get in touch to let us know about them. To find out about the many concerts, shows and other events taking place in the area, visit Whats On Glasgow, Glasgow Life, The List and other listings sites.
