About Glasgow’s Christmas Lights Switch On

Glasgow will host a spectacular Christmas lights switch-on display to mark the start of the city’s 2023 festive celebrations.

Glasgow Loves Christmas is bringing the free event back to George Square on Sunday 19 November (4.30-7.00pm).

A ticket ballot for the 2023 Christmas lights switch-on is open between Wednesday 18 October until Sunday 22 October via www.glasgowlife.org.uk

This year’s event, hosted by Clyde 1 presenters George Bowie and Cassi Gillespie, will be packed full of festive fun, including live music, sing-alongs, a choir, and appearances by some of the cast of Pavilion Theatre pantomime Treasure Island.

The illumination of Glasgow’s festive decorations will start the countdown to Christmas, with plenty of family favourite traditions to follow, including the Blessing of the Crib in George Square, Baby’s First Christmas and the Glasgow Santa Dash.
