Applicants can apply for up to £10,000 of funding to include 850 Glasgow themes and activities in their program for next year.
The city is seeking applications from established festivals and events to add value to their offering as they seek to showcase and celebrate Glasgow and its wealth and diversity of talent while also engaging with children and young people and delivering community outreach activity .

Applications can be made from today, Thursday June 20, and will be open until 5pm on Wednesday, July 31 with successful bidders announced in September as part of the official launch of the Glasgow 850 programme.
Billy Garrett is director of culture, tourism and events at Glasgow Life and said: “The Glasgow 850 Festival Fund is a cornerstone of our city programs next year, enabling established events to expand their impact and reach wider audiences in our local communities. The aim of this fund is not only to highlight the amazing talent we have in Glasgow but it also ensures that our communities can take part in the celebrations and experience them.”
“The fund supports events that align with the themes of Glasgow 850, to mark the city’s rich heritage, reflect on its transformative growth, and inspire a vision for the next fifty years. It is also an opportunity for established events to attract and work with new audiences in the city through outreach activities.”
The announcement of the new fund follows quickly on the heels of the Glasgow 850 brand launched earlier this week.
Throughout 2025, Glasgow will celebrate its 850th birthday by presenting a city-wide program that celebrates and reflects on the city’s past, present and recent future.
The calendar will allow people at home and abroad to tell their stories about the city and honor Glasgow’s heritage and traditions throughout the years.
