🚪 Doors open 7pm

💛 You asked... we listened! 🎄

Earlier this year we asked what you'd like to see this Christmas.

✨ You wanted coloured lights on the town tree.
✨ You asked for a beautiful Christmas arch where families can take festive photos.

We've listened, but we need your help.

Along with replacing the ageing lights on Combie Street, the total cost of this year's new displays is £5,839.68.

Last year, thanks to your incredible support, we were able to create magical memories with Tinsel Toot, Santa's Seat and a fantastic Christmas Light Switch-On. We'd love to make this year even more special.

If everyone who loves Christmas in Oban could spare a few pounds, together we can make it happen.

🎅 The Christmas Light Switch-On and BID4Oban Reindeer Parade will return on Saturday 28th November, and we're hoping Santa will once again lead the parade to Station Square.

❤️ If you can help, please donate using the link below. Every pound really does make a difference.
