Darwen Christmas Lights Switch On & Festive Markets 2024
It’s the biggest and best event in Darwen’s yearly Calendar…our legendary Christmas Lights Switch On & Festive Markets!
And this year’s event will take place on Saturday 16th November 2024.
Building on the huge success of the ‘best-ever’ Christmas lights switch on in 2023, K-Klass will be performing their 90s hits ‘Rhythm is a Mystery’ and ‘Let Me Show You.’
The 90s electro dance group K-Klass have headlined festivals all over the globe, and now they’re bringing legendary tracks including “Rhythm is a Mystery” and “Let Me Show You” to Darwen Market Square.
Whether K-Klass will have you reliving your 90s party days, or give you a taste of a music scene before your time, they’re sure to get everyone feeling the rhythm and showing off their best house dance moves.
K-Klass are the icing on the cake of an entire day packed full of quality festive family fun.
Entertainment will begin at 10am, with a vibrant mix of acts on the main stage and around the market square, alongside Crafty Vintage festive markets, fairground rides, delicious food and much, much more.
