The Bigman Festival has been run over several years and is
an event for the local community centered around the canal in North
Glasgow.
The day is a celebration of Glasgow, its canal and its
people with the aim of getting the community to engage with the
water and to learn about the latest plans for regeneration in the
area.
The name was devised from the exciting proposal to build a
new 3-way canal bridge at Stockingfield Junction, which would
re-connect the communities on the banks of the water. The concept
for the bridge, which was designed by local sculptor Andy Scott,
was termed the Bigman Bridge as 'big man' is a term closely
associated with Glasgow.
