Shifnal Christmas lights switch-on will take place on Saturday, November 23 and will include a festive market and live entertainment.
From 1pm there will be live music, stalls, street food and a bar in the town centre, plus visits from Father Christmas. The light switch on will be at 6.45pm and the festivities will go on until 8pm.
Beth Heath, of Shropshire Festivals which is organising the event, said: “Let’s celebrate the start of Christmas in Shifnal with a brilliant market and a countdown to the lights going on. We want to fill the town with festive spirit, and everyone is invited to join in the fun. There will be a music stage outside Patons where you can enjoy live bands and performances. Two VIPs will be in attendance, the Mayor of Shifnal and Father Christmas!”
