Bookmark & shareNot to be outdone by Edinburgh, Glasgow has initiated several festivals of its own, starting each January with the two-week Celtic Connections music festival. February sees the City of Love, a festival celebrating St Valentine, whose partial remains lie in a Glasgow church. The city's biggest arts event is the two-week long West End Festival of music in June, with the excellent Glasgow Jazz Festival following in July. Other festivals include the classical RSNO Proms in June and the World Pipe Band Championships in mid-August.
