Programme launch for Glasgow 850
Glasgow City Council has officially launched its Glasgow 850 programme taking place throughout 2025. It will be a spectacular year-long celebration marking 850 years since the city gained Burgh status in 1175.
The milestone year is packed with events and activities that honour Glasgow’s rich history, dynamic present and ambitious future. All those with a connection to Glasgow are invited to join the celebrations, share their stories and to become tourists in their own city.
As well as a series of signature events, the programme includes everything from arts and culture, to sports, food and drink, festivals and historical exhibitions to smaller community-led events delivered by Glasgow City Council and partners across the city.
