Kick off the festive season in Milton Keynes City Centre at the annual Christmas Lights Switch-On! This free outdoor event is full of music, comedy, family fun, and festive cheer, ending with a spectacular fireworks display as the Christmas lights across central MK are illuminated.
Festivities start at 2:00 PM with fairground rides and comedy elves, followed at 4:00 PM by performances from the children of Christ the Sower Primary School and the 65-strong Milton Keynes Rock Choir, led by pianist and singer Rob Baker. Local jazz and swing singer Ollie Corbett will also take to the stage.
Comedian and internationally recognised magician David Allen returns to host, while Father Christmas will make a special appearance to switch on the decorations along Midsummer Boulevard, Midsummer Place, 12th Street, and the new Christmas tree outside 
Milton Keynes Theatre and 
MK Gallery.
The evening concludes around 5:15 PM with a dazzling fireworks display lighting up the Milton Keynes sky.
