Govanhill Carnival is back in Glasgow
MORE than 50 groups are to take part in the largest Govanhill Carnival yet as it aims to"own the streets" and celebrate the diversity of the community.
GIFC is organised and funded by Govanhill Baths Community Trust and Fatima Uygun, trust manager, said:"The highlight is the Govanhill Carnival. We think it's really, really important to take to the streets and own the streets for the day and showcase the diversity in the community. "We've opened it up to groups outwith Govanhill that are anti-racist or pro-diversity and also the LGBT community and women's groups, so hopefully we'll have a bit more diversity among the great numbers we already have."
The Book Festival will see Darren, author of The Social Distance Between Us: How Remote Politics Wrecked Britain and Donna McLean, author of Small Town Girl: Love, Lies and the Undercover Police talk about their new books.Fatima said:"When Govanhill Baths was open, we gave writers time and space to write in the slipper baths upstairs, so this is a thank you from him to us.
