Paisley’s annual Sma’ Shot Day is welcoming families again this year for a day filled with entertainment in the town centre.
The event, which is one of the world’s oldest workers’ festivals, begins at noon on Saturday as the spectacular Sma’ Shot Parade sets off from Brodie Park.
Provost Lorraine Cameron said: “Sma’ Shot Day is one of the highlights of our annual events calendar which attracts thousands of visitors to the area each year.
“This year’s jam-packed programme has even more for families to enjoy – from the spectacular parade and Burning of the Cork to fantastic workshops, live entertainment and fascinating tours of the Sma’ Shot Cottages.
“I can’t wait to see everyone turn out on Saturday to celebrate the town’s rich history and creativity together.”

It will be followed by a performance from local dance group Right2Dance and the traditional Burning of the Cork – a highlight of the Sma’ Shot Day celebrations.
A ‘Doon the Watter’ seaside experience can be found in Abbey Gardens, equipped with deck chairs and a beach.
Plus, there’s circus skills, bubble making and carnival fun from Paisley Community Circus and Big Top Circus and a performance from the RockUs community choir.
