Milton Keynes' BIGGEST Christmas lights switch-on with MyMiltonKeynes is back on Saturday 18th November with MKFM.
The countdown to Christmas begins with MyMiltonKeynes' Christmas Lights Switch-on Saturday 18th November.
The switch on will take place between 3pm-5pm at Midsummer Place, hosted by MKFM's Trev and Wes.
The FREE event will be packed full of festive fun, including live music, dance performances, and local choirs.
You can warm-up with MKFM’s DJ Keith Hurley between 3-4pm, with the main show kicking off at 4pm.
It will take place outside Midsummer Place.
Families are encouraged to put on their Christmas hats and join in the celebration of lighting up our much-loved city. Some of our favourite Milton Keynes mascots will be on parade and the event will culminate with the switching on of the lights by Father Christmas, joined by the Milton Keynes Mayor and Mayoress Mick and Mandy Legg.
The Mayor and Mayoress of Milton Keynes said: “The switching on of Milton Keynes’ Christmas lights is always a special occasion. It is one of the highlights of the year seeing families and friends gather to celebrate the start of the festive season in the heart of our city.”
MyMiltonKeynes, which is funded by city centre businesses, is installing Christmas lights in Central Milton Keynes for the seventh year running.
This year the installation includes a giant moving projection along the outside of Midsummer Place, above the MyMiltonKeynes office.
