As the festive season approaches, Darwen is set to illuminate the holiday spirit with its annual Christmas Lights Switch-On. This year's event, scheduled for Saturday, November 16, 2024, promises to be a memorable celebration, headlined by the iconic 90s electro dance group, K-Klass. Known for their chart-topping hits "Rhythm is a Mystery" and "Let Me Show You," K-Klass will bring their legendary sound to the heart of Darwen, igniting the evening with energy and nostalgia.


A Tribute to East Lancashire's Musical Heritage

K-Klass's performance is more than just entertainment; it's a nod to East Lancashire's rich musical heritage. The region played a pivotal role in the acid house and warehouse rave movements of the late 80s and early 90s. These underground gatherings were cultural milestones, fostering unity and creativity. By featuring K-Klass, we honor this legacy and celebrate the enduring influence of East Lancashire on the global dance music scene.


A Day Filled with Festive Activities

The Christmas Lights Switch-On is not just an evening affair; it's a day-long celebration packed with activities for all ages. Starting in the early afternoon, Darwen's Market Square will transform into a festive hub, featuring:

  • Live Performances: Local talent will take the stage, showcasing a variety of musical acts and performances that highlight the community's diverse artistic flair.

  • Crafty Vintage Artisan Markets: Our renowned markets return, offering a curated selection of handcrafted goods, festive foods, and unique gifts. It's the perfect opportunity to support local artisans and find one-of-a-kind holiday treasures.

  • Family-Friendly Entertainment: From children's activities to interactive workshops, there's something for everyone to enjoy, making it a day for the whole family.


Supporting Local Businesses and the Community

At Crafty Vintage, we believe in the power of community and the importance of supporting local businesses. Events like the Christmas Lights Switch-On provide a platform for independent retailers and artisans to showcase their work, fostering economic growth and community spirit. In an era dominated by online conglomerates, choosing to shop locally ensures that our towns remain vibrant and our local economy thrives.
