Christmas Lights On for the West End! #dundeewestend

Tonight at 6.15pm 
Lights On for the West End!
…  and a spectacular fireworks extravaganza!

This year’s West End Christmas Concert takes place at Dundee West Church at 6.15pm.   Everyone is very welcome to attend.   

There will be musical contributions from all local primary and secondary schools.    The Concert will be hosted by Gordon Sharp.    We are delighted that “The Notables” will also perform at the concert.  Mains of Fintry Pipe Band will pipe everyone from the church to Seabraes for the Christmas Lights Switch-On!

At 7pm, Loadsaweeminsinging will be singing by the Christmas Tree, followed by a visit from Santa with small gifts for all the children, with grateful thanks to Scotmid.     The West End Christmas Lights will be switched on at Seabraes at 7.20pm by Lord Provost Ian Borthwick, ably assisted by Santa and his sleigh. 

There will again be a spectacular fireworks display after the lights switch-on – and we would like to thank the West End businesses and organisations whose financial support has made the fireworks display possible.  
       
In addition, there will be hot drinks and shortie at Seabraes, kindly provided by Gate Church and crafts and sweets stalls from the Friends of Blackness. 

Many thanks to Police Scotland for their assistance and also to the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service who hope to have a fire engine on-site for children to see round!

Another great, free event for all the family – don’t miss it!
