Trowbridge Christmas Lantern Festival

About

The Trowbridge Christmas Lights Switch On 2026 promises to be a truly festive and enjoyable evening for the whole family. This year the event will be held on Friday 27th November in Trowbridge Town Park. 

The highlight of the event will be a spectacular lantern parade. With the theme of The Natural World, a multitude of exquisite willow lanterns will be paraded through Trowbridge Park. 

The lights will be switched on by the winner of the Mayor’s Christmas Card competition. Lights will be up around the town as in previous years and the switch-on will turn lights on in the town and Trowbridge Park simultaneously. Alongside the switch-on this year there will be a Christmassy DJ set and snow machine! 

Food and beverage traders will be in the Avenue of Trees and the Christmas Market will be in the Civic, so there will be plenty to get you in the festive spirit.
