World Sufi Festival
Tramway
25 Albert Drive, Glasgow
Friday 4 - Sunday 6 August 2006
The World Sufi Festival plans to be the biggest intercultural event in Scotland of 2006. It's planned as a family event with the best in international and local performers, crafts workers and artists. The Festival is rooted in the Sufi tradition,
a mystical way of life that spread from the Middle East across North Africa, through central Asia and down through South and Southeast Asia . The transcendental music and dance of the Sufi is popular across the world, connecting with and influencing many modern music, dance and other artistic developments. These are represented in our festival - but also here is the ancient traditional poetry, some of the best poetry ever written - and the talk - a dialogue with experts on Sufism and its relevance to modern lives.
Doors open at 12 noon
Bazaar open until 9.00 p.m.
Events until 10.00 p.m. (11.00 p.m. Saturday)
Admission Free (except for a limited number of major events)
