Sma' Shot Day Event Volunteers 2026

Sma' Shot Day is a vibrant celebration of Paisley's rich heritage of community activism and unity. This year, the event will take place on Saturday, July 4th, 2026. We commemorate the weavers' historic triumph in securing payment for the essential Sma' Shot thread that held Paisley shawls together. This joyous day will bring together residents and visitors alike, featuring live music, dancing, parade, arts and crafts, and much more!
