That the Parliament congratulates everyone involved on the opening of the new Govan-Partick bridge, which will be marked with a musical extravaganza in the form of a free one-off festival on 7 September 2024; understands that, being organised by the team behind the Govan Music Festival and Govan’s regeneration orchestra, the Glasgow Barons, the Govan Footbridge Festival will bring local grassroots performers and huge Scottish acts together in a day of musical celebration across the streets of Govan; further understands that the multi-genre, unticketed festival will take place between 10.00 am and 8.00 pm and see Govan Road closed off for the day, with performances taking place across the whole of Govan Cross, as well as at the Footbridge Plaza next to the Govan entrance of the footbridge, and highlights that well-known names will be performing along with local school choirs, the Gilded Lilies singing group, the Govan Allsorts Community Choir and the Govan Community Pipe Band, while a Community Cèilidh will be held on Govan Road.
