Christmas Light Switch On & Parade

The countdown to Christmas starts here!

Join us at Westfield St James Quarter as we kick off the festive season with the return of our much-loved Christmas Light Switch On & Parade, led by Forth 1 favourites, Boogie & Arlene on Saturday, 7 November from 5pm.

Get ready for an afternoon of festive magic as our spectacular Christmas parade makes its way through the Galleria, bringing together live music, dazzling performances and plenty of Christmas cheer. Look out for Santa and Mrs Claus, cast members from The Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh’s production of A Christmas Carol and world champion beatboxer, Hobbit. Plus, enjoy Christmas carols ahead of the Switch On, and a performance from all-female sensation, She's Got Brass.
