Dandelion Festival won in the outstanding cultural event or festival in the west of Scotland Thistle Awards last night (Thursday 28 September). The ceremony was held at the Radisson Blu in Glasgow.
The Dandelion Festival took place in Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Park, featuring performances from Scottish and International artists. These included Karine Polwart, Niteworks, Admiral Fallow, and many more.
The festival also featured talks, workshops, schools’ activities, and a creative programme inspired by themes of sustainability and climate action.
The free and inclusive event was praised by judges for supporting the creative and cultural sector as it recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The festival was a flagship event in the wider Dandelion programme that saw more than 589,000 people take part in creative events, installations, gardens, growing, and learning programmes during the course of the year.
This follows Fringe by the Sea’s win in the same category for the central and east region last week.
