About Port Glasgow Comet Festival
A host of fun, family-friendly events have been put together for this year’s bumper Comet Festival.
The annual free event in Coronation Park has been extended to two-days this year to celebrate Port Glasgow’s 250th anniversary in 2025.
Taking place over June 21 and 22, the festival will feature a 10k run, a funfair, live music, community stalls, Pictures in the Park and much more!
The event will begin with a parade at 11.30am on Saturday morning, led by samba band Bloco Winnoch in front of a procession of floats, through the town to Coronation Park for the festival to start at 12noon.
The park itself will have many of the attractions enjoyed every year at the Comet Festival including an entertainment zone with lots of culture, heritage and art to enjoy, traders, community group marquees, a funfair, tea tent, bar and beer garden, live music stage, boat trips, guided walking tours and more.
Saturday’s event finishes at 6pm but everyone is invited back to the park for Sunday’s events, including the return of the Port Glasgow 10k. The race starts at 11am and leaves from and finishes in Coronation Park. Anyone interested can sign up by clicking the link on this page.
The Port Glasgow 10k was first run in 2018 and is open to anyone aged over 15 years old on the day of the race. The route this year takes place along the foreshore of the Clyde taking in Kingston Dock and Kelburn Park.
The cost of entry is £10 generally with eligible pupils of Port Glasgow High School and St Stephen’s High School able to enter for a reduced price of £5. Each finisher will get a special medal which contains the Port Glasgow 250 logo, with trophies for fastest male and female runners.
