The event that gets the festive season off to a dazzling start in St Albans! Eat, drink, shop, play and enjoy, all against the backdrop of beautiful Christmas light installations provided by St Albans BID which will be illuminated throughout. St Peter's Street, Chequer Street, High Street and Market Place will be closed to traffic and given over to fairground rides, games, art activities, street theatre, music and wholesome family fun. Come and meet Santa in his grotto, enjoy a sneak preview of some brilliant performances taking place throughout the District over Christmas and the new year, and enjoy some festive food and drink from around 100 market stalls.
