THE Red Hot Chilli Pipers and the MacDonald Brothers will top the bill at this year’s Christmas lights switch-on in Ayr.
Provost Winnie Sloan will declare the festive period well and truly started when she flicks the switch at 5pm on Sunday, November 23.
De Ville, kids’ favourite Magic Malky and the Paul McKenna band will also be there to ensure that the family fun day has something for everyone.
The switch-on will take place at Wellington Square and for the first time it will be broadcast on a big screen.
Provost Sloan explained: “This is a real family event, with something for people of all ages. The fun starts at 3pm and I will switch the lights on at 5pm.
“If you live in South Ayrshire, or know that you will be in Ayr on that date, come along, join in the fun and have a great time.”
The switch-on coincides with the Ayrshire Santa Dash on behalf of Ayrshire Cancer Support, also in Ayr.
People will dress up as Santa and run or walk five kilometres to raise cash for the charity.
Anyone interested in taking part in this event should call 01563 538008 for more information.
