Lincoln Christmas Lights Switch-On

The official start of Christmas across Lincoln, switching on the festive Christmas Lights across the city plus festive entertainment to get you in the spirit.

Celebrate the start of the festive season at the Lincoln Christmas Light Switch On, taking place on Thursday 27th November on Lincoln High Street.

Join the City of Lincoln Council’s Civic Party, along with special guests for a full evening of entertainment and the all-important moment when Lincoln city centre transforms into a glittering sea of Christmas magic.

The main stage will be in front of the War Memorial with the official switch-on of the lights taking place at 19:10, marking the start of a spectacular evening filled with entertainment, music, and seasonal cheer.

We will be leaving the ResLife Lounge by 17:40/45 , so please meet us there from 17:30.

Don’t forget to wear comfy shoes and dress for the weather as the event is outside. Once the lights are on, we will walk around the city & possibly up steep hill to see the lights in the bailgate too!
