The city's Christmas extravaganza will take place in the city centre on November 16.

A magical and jolly switch-on of the Christmas lights will signify the start of the 2024 festive season in Stirling .

The parade will feature the Stirling and District Schools Pipe Band, the City of Stirling Pipe Band, cast favourites from this year’s ‘Snow White’ panto at the Macrobert, Stirling Scouts and Cubs, community groups, as well as Mr and Mrs Claus and Lord Provost, Elaine Watterson. Stirling Council depute leader, Cllr Gerry McGarvey, said: “It’s always great to see Stirling sparkle as people begin to get into the Christmas spirit and the countdown to the festive season gets underway.

“There’s something magical about Stirling at this time of year and we particularly appreciate the work of our traders in adding to the festive glow as they gear up for their busiest time of the year.” From December 7, Santa will also be at the National Wallace Monument each weekend until Sunday December 22 for a magical storytelling experience. Tickets are now on sale at £5 per person and include entry to the Monument. The Monument and The Tolbooth will also be lit in green and red to coincide with the Christmas light switch-on in the city centre.
