This event is organised by Leeds City Council.
The Leeds Lights Switch On is an annual event in early November that takes place on Victoria Gardens (The Headrow, Leeds).
This year’s Leeds Christmas Lights switch-on will have been 100 years in the making when Leeds United take to the stage as the special guests of honour to officially kick off the festive season.
On Thursday, November 7 outside Leeds Art Gallery, players from the Elland Road side’s first team will be joined by members of the ladies team and club legends as the club marks its centenary.
Former X Factor winners Rak-Su, classical quartet G4 and a host of other celebrities and local performers will entertain the 20,000 crowd expected to attend this year’s seasonal showpiece.
Other attractions on the night will include funfair rides along Cookridge Street, street food concessions with entertainment culminating in the big switch-on of one of the UK’s largest displays of city centre festive illuminations and spectacular fireworks.
