Campbeltown Christmas Lights Switch On

Campbeltown's annual Christmas lights switch-on, when the town centre streets fill with hundreds of visitors and locals. The organisers call it the night Christmas in South Kintyre starts: late night Christmas shopping, a parade through the town centre and then the lights going on.

What to expect:

• Friday 27 November 2026 in Campbeltown town centre
• A parade through the town centre, then the switching on of the lights
• Shops and cafes open late, so there is plenty to do around the parade
• The organisers describe it as 'a great night for all the family'
• An outdoor street event - warm coats, and no booking mentioned
• No start time has been published yet; the group posts details on its own site and Facebook page
• Run by the Campbeltown Christmas Lights Group, funded entirely by businesses and people of Kintyre
