Festive fun is set to come to town as the much-loved Christmas light switch-on event and parade returns to Stourport this week. 

From live music and street food to an action-packed parade and fireworks, everyone is invited to get into the Christmas spirit at the annual Three Kings Parade. 

The event is set to take place on Friday (November 22) with the parade being led by children from St Bartholomew's Primary School and Astley CofE Primary School. 

The parade will start at 6pm from the car park off Martins Way and circle around the town centre streets before briefly stopping at the Villeneuve-le-Roi Gardens. 

The parade will then return to the Civic Centre for the switch-on and fireworks display at 7.20pm. 

Stourport Town Council said: "The Three Kings will once again lead the parade which will assemble at 5.15pm in the car park behind the Civic Centre. 

"There will also be a best dressed shop window display competition. 

"We look forward to you all joining us to bring a warm sense of community to this annual event." 

Children and parents from six other schools, youth groups and more will also be taking part in the parade with a short service being held at the Civic Centre before the fireworks display to mark the start of Christmas. 

There will also be a craft fayre and refreshments in the Civic Hall, live music and pantomime tickets on sale with the nativity scene featured in York Street. 

As well as the light switch-on, there will also be a number of traders and businesses on hand selling tasty treats and drinks thanks to the support of Andy Dyer from Eat Street Repeat who offers his help for free. 

Some of the vendors include Aurorbella’s Bakes, The Lovely Pizzeria, BMK Stourport, Wall 2 Wall, Giddy Ups - coffee and hot drinks, FLAVA, Hillbilly's Street Kitchen X Worley's Hope & Anchor and Stuffed Any Way You Like.
