In 2020, the inaugural festival was inspired by the actions of the 1820 Paisley Radicals, celebrating Paisley as a place where people value their unique rich history – while also looking forward with energy and creativity. It included 64 events for adults, children and schools, with the Paisley Arts Centre as its hub venue, and involved more than 30 local volunteers.

In 2021, the festival will continue to focus on grassroots rebellion, revolution and activism, taking account of the ways that the world has changed radically in the last 12 months. Because of the current restrictions, the Festival will be online. Keep an eye on the Festival’s social media and website for programme updates or join their mailing list.
