Dancers from Boundary Arts Centre in Ashton will be joining the Northern Lights parade this Saturday (19th November), as the town kicks off its Christmas celebrations with a sparkly, festive community parade.

‍

The spectacle will feature a Christmas Lantern Parade - an amazing community procession bringing light to Tameside.  The Northern Lights - Tameside’s Christmas Celebration - will take place in Ashton on Saturday 19th November between 3pm and 6:30pm.

Siobhan Pownall, Director of Boundary Arts Centre said: “Our dancers are delighted and feel very privileged to be invited to perform as carnival and parade dancers in the Northern Lights event. The students are extremely excited and have absolutely loved the rehearsals!”

Siobhan continued: “We are one big inclusive creative family that supports one another in and out of the studio. This has been a fabulous opportunity to bring the community together as one.”

‍

The spectacular Northern Lights lantern parade will wind its way along the streets bringing festive cheer while it lights up the route to the town square for everyone to see. As usual there will also be live music and performances with the grand finale of the Christmas Light Switch On by a very special guest, Father Christmas himself! The evening will also be the start of the Festive Window Trail, which runs throughout the festive period.
