The Wednesfield Christmas Light Switch On is an annual event that marks the beginning of the holiday season in Wednesfield, a village in the West Midlands, England. During this event, the Christmas lights are illuminated for the first time, creating a festive and magical atmosphere in the town.
Local businesses, community groups, and sometimes sponsors come together to organize and support this event. It typically features various activities such as live music performances, carol singing, entertainment for children, food stalls, and sometimes special appearances by Santa Claus.
The highlight of the evening is often the countdown to the official switching on of the Christmas lights, which marks the start of the holiday season in the area. It’s a joyful occasion that brings residents and visitors together to celebrate and enjoy the festive spirit.
And it was fantastic to be part of this joyous occasion, myself and the team were in the tick of it spreading the joy in the community and give out Christmas Santa Hats and Mince pies!
