The Christmas calendar officially kicks off with the switch-on of this year's awesome Christmas lights on Thursday 16 November, adding festive sparkles and colour to the city centre, and highlighting the beginning of late-night shopping.
Join us for an exciting programme of free, family-friendly entertainment to enjoy on stage in the Piazza. There will be lots of festive fun and entertainment, from the Party Princesses to local dance and singing groups. Santa and his Elves will be on stage with special guests, who will be joining the Lord Mayor in switching on the fabulous Christmas lights - marking the start of Christmas in Plymouth!
The evening will finish with a lively performance from the brilliant Ocean City Groove, who will have the crowds dancing and singing along to their ten piece funk, disco, soul and party band – playing big hits for everyone to enjoy.
THIS EVENT IS FREE TO ATTEND

Most driving routes will bring you onto the M5, which eventually merges to become the A38 bringing you directly to Plymouth. If you cross the Tamar Bridge towards Saltash then you've gone too far.
We recommend you use Google Maps to plan the quickest route for you.
There is plenty of parking available in Plymouth. Whether it's in the car parks or street parking, both will require a small fee in the city.
