Light Up Northstowe returned on Friday 29th November!
With a lantern parade, festive lights switch-on, music, food trucks and more, it was another brilliant evening in Northstowe!
Join the Lantern Parade: arrive at Western Park Pavilion at 5pm with lanterns that you've made in workshops, at school or at home, or pre-ordered from us. Led by Prime Brass, the parade will end at the Christmas Tree on the Green!
Fun on the Green: Between 5pm and 8pm, there will be food and drink trucks, a toy swap, and much more at the Green and in the Cabin!
The lights will be switched on when the Lantern Parade arrives, at about 5.50pm!
