The free festival will have a range of activities for families and people of all ages, including health walks around Glasgow Green, outdoor games, free bike repairs, taster sessions for adapted bikes, free health check-ups, music, face-painting, arts and crafts, with the council's Avenues team available to provide updates on the development of these city centre public realm projects.
Wheeling can be defined as anything from cycling to using a wheelchair or pushing a pram or buggy.
People can drop into the Festival on the day between 11am - 3pm on 11 May. In the two weeks after the main event, the Festival will continue with theme walks across the city, including history and heritage strolls, a teddy bear's picnic for young children and longer hikes - booking is required.
Local artists Walker & Bromwich have been working with local schools and communities to prepare a Festival Procession.
The Glasgow Walking & Wheeling Festival is being organised by the Glasgow Avenues Programme in partnership with Glasgow Life, Sustrans and is supported by a number of organisations who are volunteering to deliver the event.
