Running from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM at SWG3 on Eastvale Place, the festival is open to all ages and promises a packed lineup of buy-sell-trade action, exclusive drops, and the rarest pairs on the market. Whether you are a seasoned collector or just getting into sneaker culture, Crepe City Glasgow is the place to be.
A Festival Built on Sneaker Culture Since 2009
Crepe City has been celebrating sneaker culture since 2009, growing from a small gathering into Europe leading footwear and streetwear lifestyle event. What sets it apart is the community driven format. It is not just a trade show but a full festival experience with music, food stalls, vintage arcade machines, and live demonstrations from leading custom apparel artists.
Over the years, Crepe City has toured cities across the UK and Europe, including Bristol, London, and Manchester, but the Glasgow edition has become a firm favorite among sneakerhead communities. The city thriving streetwear scene makes it the perfect home for the festival.
Custom Apparel and Merchandise Take Center Stage
One of the biggest draws at Crepe City is the custom apparel zone, where independent designers and print shops showcase limited edition tees, hoodies, caps, and accessories. Attendees can watch live screen printing and heat press demonstrations, and even commission custom pieces on the spot.
For businesses in the custom printing and merchandise space, Crepe City offers a unique opportunity to connect directly with a highly engaged audience of streetwear enthusiasts. Vendors report strong sales on branded merchandise, from embroidered crewnecks to sublimation printed shorts, making it a valuable event for anyone in the apparel printing industry.
Buy, Sell, Trade. The Sneaker Market
The heart of Crepe City is its bustling sneaker market, where dozens of vendors set up shop with everything from deadstock classics to the latest collaborations. Expect to find brands like Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Jordan, and emerging independent labels all under one roof.
Tradefair activities encourage collectors to bring their own pairs to sell or swap, creating a dynamic marketplace where rare finds can surface. Past editions have seen limited edition Nike Dunks, vintage Air Max models, and one-off custom sneakers change hands.
