Yardworks Festival 2025: Where is it and what is on?
Yardworks is now one of Europe's leading festivals of street art and graffiti and is a vibrant, family-friendly celebration of colour, culture and collaboration with artists flying in from all over the world to take park.
Visitors to the festival can expect to see plenty of well-known street artists take part with people such as Bacon from Canada who is known for his wildlife murals. Zurki, from Colombia and Spain as well as Portugal's Nuno Viegas, American Jeks and Belgium's Kitsune will also be involved.
Glasgow's own Smug, who has produced murals such as Saint Mungo and The Swimmer, will also take part while Peachzz, who was recently voted the second best street artist in the world by StreetArt Cities will also be taking part.
