The weekend kicks off on Friday 20 November, when the Festive Market opens along King Edward Street and High Street for three days of treats and gifting inspiration. Santa's Grotto will also open at Horsecross Plaza, with Santa taking up residence for all three days of the switch-on weekend. We'd love to see all the good children form an orderly queue to receive an early Christmas gift. Friday is also full of spooky fun with the Christmas Ghost Tours, and dancemania at the Silent Disco. And that's us just getting started! Saturday is switch-on day itself. The Santa Run gets things moving at midday, followed by an afternoon of street entertainment, funfairs and live music across three big stages located at Tay Street, King Edward Street and Mill Street. The big moment arrives from a new location on Tay Street, just outside the Royal George, and will be followed by a glorious fireworks display on from North Inch. Sunday brings the celebrations to the streets with not one, not two, but three Pa
