The countdown is on to the season of festive fun and events and there is so much going on across the borough, you won’t want to miss it!
There’s not just one or two but a total of nine community-led Christmas events taking place with one for each town to host their own unique Christmas celebration event and show their pride in their local area.
The most spectacular event of all is the borough’s annual Winter Parade which is taking place in Stalybrige this year on Saturday 15 November to herald the start of the celebrations across Tameside
Tameside Northern Lantern Parade
Stalybridge - Saturday 15 November
The parade starts at 5pm

Everyone is invited to join in and be part of the Lantern Parade, which brings joy, excitement and a guaranteed electric atmosphere every year. There will be a fantastic and magical parade of puppets, bands, dancers, and a fun-packed stage of performers leading up to Father Christmas switching on the town’s lights live on the night.
