Matt Addicott, artistic director for Platform, said: 'It's summer festival time once again and it's great to support two family-friendly festival days in North East Glasgow.
'We are proud to welcome thousands of families along each year. Thank you to our funders, partners and supporters for helping us put on the festivals.'

He added: 'All activities are free or subsidised to keep costs low and entry itself is free.
"The popular live wrestling show from Glasgow-based Iron Girders Gym is back at Alexandra Park Festival Day and one of the highlights at The Bridge festival is a free roller disco – we supply the skates, so just bring yourself.'
The festivals will also include art activities and stalls from community groups and organisations, plus free face painting, sports activities, art workshops and food and drink.
