Join us in celebrating the magic of Burnley on Saturday 15th November with a day full of community spirit and unforgettable experiences in the heart of our town centre.
Throughout the day, enjoy free crazy golf, a family trail with prizes, face painting, a fun fair, and much more, all designed to bring smiles to families and visitors of all ages.
The live stage will showcase the incredible talent of our town, featuring performances from local music acts, dance schools, Burnley College Performing Arts, Burnley Panto Society, Burnley Youth Theatre, choirs, and more.
At around 16:00, the streets come alive with the Magical Lantern Parade, led by the vibrant rhythms of Batala Lancaster, starting from Bankfield/Curzon Street and winding through the town centre.
This vibrant parade, held in collaboration with the Diversity Festival is proudly presented by Discover Burnley, Burnley BID, South West Burnley Community Action Group, Lancashire County Council, Get Creative, and supported by local artists, community groups, and schools. Creative sessions will be held at various community centres across Burnley. For full details, please click here.
Experience the true meaning of community as people come together to celebrate the joy of light and togetherness. Don't worry if you haven't made a lantern, all are welcome!
Then at around 17:00, the day draws to a spellbinding finale as we begin the countdown to the Light Switch-On, complete with a flurry of magic as the snow cannons are fired!
Burnley Believes in its people. In every voice, every culture, and every creative spark. This event is a celebration of the rich diversity, talent, and community spirit that make our town so special. Come and be part of the magic!
