Christmas Lights Switch On
Sunday 24th November 2024
Come and join us for the Visit West End annual Christmas Event! It’s going to be a day filled with festive fun, live music, and the magical tree switch-on! 🎄
Vinicombe Street will be alive with amazing vendors offering unique gifts, and The Parlour and Hillhead Bookclub will have delicious food and drinks waiting for you! 🍽️
We’re super excited to team up again with Social Bite and their Festival of Kindness! They’ll be set up from Sunday, November 24th, all the way to Christmas, welcoming donations from all of you! ❤️
Get ready to dance along to live music from Voice of the Town, Sabrina Mandulu, and The Rock Choir, with even more acts and vendors to be revealed! 🎶
And make sure you catch the highlight of the evening - the Tree Switch-on ceremony at 5:30 PM! 🌟
The market kicks off at 11 AM, and the musical fun starts at noon. We can’t wait to see you there!
