The Glasgow Mela and Merchant City Festival have been cancelled amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The summer events will not be held on their scheduled dates this years with organisers saying they are exploring way to deliver them either on later dates or in different formats.
The Glasgow Mela was expected to mark its 30th anniversary this year on Sunday, June 7 in Kelvingrove Park.
The Merchant City Festival was due to run from Thursday, July 2 to Sunday, July 5.
Councillor David McDonald, Chair of Glasgow Life and Depute Leader of Glasgow City Council said: “We know this decision will not be a surprise but we are conscious that tens of thousands of people who love attending The Glasgow Mela and the Merchant City Festival will still be disappointed.
"However with the current restrictions on all of us, we could not delay a decision. I very much hope we will see the Mela and Merchant City Festival in some form this year, if circumstances allow."
The Glasgow Mela is Scotland’s largest multicultural festival and was first held in 1990 as an indoor event at Tramway during Glasgow’s celebrations as European Capital of Culture.
The Merchant City Festival has been running 2002 and provides a significant boost to the area’s economy each summer.
