Join the festive fun on Saturday 22nd November in Milton Keynes City Centre for the annual Christmas lights switch-on, packed with music, comedy, and community cheer!

Get ready for a magical start to Christmas in Milton Keynes City Centre!

Head to The Point car park for a free outdoor celebration full of music, entertainment, and festive cheer, finishing with a spectacular fireworks display as the Christmas lights are switched on across central MK.

The fun kicks off at 4pm with a performance from the children of Christ the Sower Primary School, joined by the 65-strong Milton Keynes Rock Choir, led by pianist and singer Rob Baker. Known for bringing energy and passion to local events for over a decade, the choir is a must-see. Local jazz and swing singer Ollie Corbett, who has performed internationally with the swing-pop group Jack Pack, will also take to the stage.

Back by popular demand, comedian and internationally recognised magician David Allen will host the event. Father Christmas will make a special appearance to press the plunger, lighting up the Christmas decorations along Midsummer Boulevard, at Midsummer Place Shopping Centre, 12th Street, and the brand-new Christmas tree outside Milton Keynes Theatre and MK Gallery.

From 2pm, enjoy fairground rides, watch comedy elves entertain the crowd, and soak up the festive atmosphere with family and friends. The evening will reach its dazzling finale at around 5:15pm with a fireworks display lighting up the Milton Keynes sky.
