Europe’s “largest sneaker festival” is coming to Glasgow this month.
Crepe City will return to Scotland for the third time on June 30, for what is predicted to be its biggest event in the country to date. Taking place in the city’s Boxhub Warehouse, the festival will see sneaker sellers from across the UK and Europe come together.
Teaming up with local music collective Peach, the festival will release a limited edition t-shirt that will be exclusively available on June 30 at the venue. Peach will also be powering the stage at Crepe City, with music provided by DJ K4cie and a live performance from JUSHARRY — winner of Scotland’s Best in Hip Hop award for 2023.
Crepe City has also called upon a multitude of brands who will be giving event goers the opportunity to get their hands on exclusive items. Crep Protect will be offering a sneaker cleaning service, as well as an opportunity to win some high value pairs through their keymaster machine.
Elsewhere, ShoeStack will give fans the chance to win some goodies with a display box activation. Slick Gorilla will also be giving away some of their high quality hair care products.
Meanwhile, food will be available from Wood Fired Pizza and Greek Street Food stalls operating at the event.
There will also be an official Crepe City afterparty at The Locale pub. The event is set to have an all-star line up of some of the Glasgow’s top DJs, while free drinks will be available for Crepe City ticket holders.
This year will mark the 15th anniversary of Crepe City, which started in 2009 holding events out of a basement to around 100 people. Fast forward 15 years and the festival continues to take over multiple cities across the UK with thousands of sneaker-heads in attendance at every venue.
