City of Perth Winter Festival

Get along to Scotland's 'Ultimate Christmas Party' on the 17th of November! Perth City Centre.

This year's Christmas Light's Switch-On promises to be a heartwarming and exciting occasion with stars such as Stephen Mulhern, of Catchphrase and Britain's Got Talent fame, to X-Factor winner James Arthur and our Headline act of Pixie Lott.
Steven Mulhern has a fantastic reputation for entertaining those who watch him, whether it's on the TV or Stage. We love his cheeky grin, and he always makes us laugh when we see him. Honestly can't wait to see him host this fantastic event.

Before we even get to see Stephen (and guests on stage), there are stalls, other entertainment stages and plenty of tasty street food for you to enjoy throughout the day and beyond.

As much as we love James Arthur and (especially) Pixie Lott we are all super excited to see Titan the Robot. Titan is the 'ultimate crowd puller'. You won't be disappointed. Get along in time to see him/her.

But it's not just the entertainers ... there are tonnes of things for you and the family to see and do. From Ice Carving and Fairground rides to enjoying the Christmas Parade and Fireworks.

As the title suggests, this is much more than the 'Turning-On' of the Christmas Tree Lights. This is a 'Winter Festival', and to that end, many things are going on over the coming weeks. The Perth Christmas Market runs from November 16th up to and including the 2nd of December and starts at 10am each day. The Chocolate and Gin Street Festival runs from Saturday 17 November 10: am - 8:30 pm till Sunday 18 November - 10: am - 5: pm. You also can't forget the Perth Santa Run which takes place on the 8th of December. Get your Santa Claus outfit sorted out in plenty of time.
