On Sunday 16th November (12pm – 5pm), the celebrations move to Market Square, where the city centre will come alive with performances from 4D Dance, Colours of Dance, Razzmatazz, Sing Choirs, On Stage Performing Arts, All Stars Performing Arts, Vocal Remix, Target Dance, and Safira Pinder. The event will open with the beautiful voices of Great St Mary’s Choir, before The Mayor of Cambridge, Cllr Dinah Pounds, takes to the stage to officially switch on the city lights — joined by the talented cast of the ADC Theatre.
Adding to the festive fun, Ruby Flames Entertainment will bring dazzling on-street performances throughout the day, adding sparkle and excitement to the city centre atmosphere. Visitors can also enjoy free chai tastings from The Permit Room (3pm – 6pm) and soak up the joyful buzz of this much-loved annual tradition.
The Big Switch-On marks the start of the Cambridge Christmas season — a time for the whole city to come together and celebrate with sparkle, song, and a little festive magic.
