Refugee Festival Scotland 2025 has arrived!
It’s festival time! Get ready for ten days of colour, creativity and community celebration.
Everyone is welcome at Refugee Festival Scotland. From 13-22 June, more than 150 events will take place in communities across the country, from Ayrshire and The Borders to Aberdeen and Orkney.
Most events are free, many involve food and some cover travel expenses for people with experience of forced migration.
Take a look to see what’s on
With everything from film screenings, football and feasting to poetry readings, musical theatre and pop up art exhibitions, this year’s line-up has it all.
We are neighbours, not strangers
In these tough times, bringing people from different backgrounds together to build friendship, solidarity and a sense of shared community is more important than ever.
By uniting against racist violence and calling out hostile UK government policies, we’re showing that a better way is possible.
Let’s celebrate the music, dance, food, art, language and ideas that people bring with them when they settle in Scotland.
