Elf Parade and Christmas Lights Switch On

30 November @ 10:00 am - 6:00 pm

Weymouth is once again hosting its Elf Extravaganza for the 2024 lights switch on!  Including elf-themed festivities from hat-making and gingerbread decorating, not forgetting Dorset’s Largest Elf Parade, where we will fill the town with the sound of elves singing throughout the streets, all led by a marching band and Santa in his sleigh and who knows, maybe smash a record whilst we’re at it – so don your elf fancy dress and come along for the fun.
With a main stage of entertainment throughout the afternoon, including fun and japes with naughty elves, the Panto cast, local schools and dance groups, The Leggomen, street performers, Stilt walkers and a host of shops and eateries all joining in the fun, it’s the perfect festive family day out.
At 5pm the town’s Christmas lights, trees and Christmas Elf will officially be switched on from the main stage in New Bond Street, and you can get into the festive spirit and experience Weymouth’s wide variety of pubs and clubs some staging Elf parties.
