Christmas lights go on across Renfrew area in local events
Paisley Daily Express
|November 21, 2025
STARTING THE FESTIVE COUNTDOWN
Towns across Renfrewshire are continuing the start of the festive season as more Christmas lights are due to be switched on from this weekend.
In Renfrew, the celebrations return to the town centre with a festive day out for all the family from noon on Saturday.
There will be live stage performances from local acts and primary school choirs throughout the day, a family funfair in Charles Avenue car park, and a Christmas Market selling seasonal fare.
Santa will be waiting in Renfrew Fellowship Church to hear all about what the children are hoping to find in their stockings this year - and there are free family Scottish and festive music sessions in Renfrew Town Hall with Fèis Phàislig throughout the day.
The day will culminate with the traditional Renfrew Burgh Band carol concert, which will take place in Renfrew Town Hall at 3.30pm, before Renfrewshire’s Provost Lorraine Cameron and Renfrew's Christmas card competition winner switch on the town’s Christmas lights at 5pm.
In Erskine, the Christmas lights switch-on will take place on Friday, November 28 from 5.45pm in Bridgewater Shopping Centre, outside Erskine Swimming Pool.
