The Street of Light George Street, west end from 21 November to 24 December 6.00pm & 8.00pm
The spectacular Street of Light this year transforms West George Street in Edinburgh’s New Town with its 24 arches each 19 metres high covered in a total of 60,000 bulbs.
This year the lights are accompanied by music from local choirs and bands including the Edinburgh Festival Chorus, Royal Scottish National Orchestra Junior Chorus, the hottest contemporary fiddle music from the Highlands and Islands’ Blazin’ Fiddles and Scotland’s very own bhangra group Tigerstyle.
Last year’s spectacular was all about spectating, this year you are invited to join in the singing and dancing.
The Street of Light will launch at Light Night on 20 November and then run each evening from 21 November for 35 days until Christmas Eve, with an expected audience of over 350,000 people. Free to access.
This is from last year!
