Welcome

On behalf of the City of Glasgow I am delighted to welcome you to Winterfest Glasgow 2009. Read on to discover the outstanding programme of events you and your family and friends can enjoy this winter and I'm certain you will agree Glasgow is the ultimate place to celebrate the festive season.

Setting our Christmas countdown alight is the much loved switch on of Glasgow's famous Christmas lights. Then wrap up warm and experience the wonder of skating under the illuminations with Glasgow on Ice.

Grab your dancing partner by the hand and join us for a jig at this year's Shindig, before continuing the merriment all the way through to New Year and Glasgow's legendary Hogmanay celebrations.

Remember, we have something happening every night and at weekends on The Big Stage in George Square, from live music to suit all tastes, film and comedy. Visit winterfestglasgow.com for the most up to date What's On information.

Glasgow is famed for being the friendly city, with a host of world class attractions. We extend an invitation to you to join us for some festive cheer, what better place is there to get into the Christmas spirit.

Rt. Hon. The Lord Provost of Glasgow, Robert Winter
