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 2024 festive celebrations.
Glasgow Life is bringing the free event back to George Square on Sunday 17th November.
A ticket ballot for the 2024 Christmas lights switch-on will be open between 10am on Wednesday 2nd October until 11:59pm Sunday 6th 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 Beauty and the Beastie.
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.
