Stevenage Event Schedule 2024: Celebrations for Everyone!
It has been a fantastic summer with plenty of activities and events happening to entertain the whole family.
We wanted to say thank you for taking part and we hope you've had a ball, the same as us.
As we say goodbye to the nice warm summer weather, don't be disheartened; it's a beautiful time of year, as the leaves are falling from the trees, and nature introduces its autumnal colours. What's even better is that there are so many more events still to come.
Whether you're joining us for firework celebrations at Fairlands Valley Park, Armistice Day commemorations, enjoying the Christmas lights switch-on at both the town centre and the Old Town, or browsing the festive market stalls, there's something for everyone!
Special Guest Performers to Light Up the Season
Get ready for an extra-special treat as iconic UK garage duo DJ Luck and MC Neat join us to welcome the festive season! They’ll be hitting the stage to bring their classic hits and unmatched energy to the Town Centre Christmas Lights Switch-On at Event Island, making this year’s celebration one to remember. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these legends live as we light up Stevenage and kick off the holiday season together!
Family-Friendly, Free Entry, and Accessible to All Ages!
All events are family-friendly and free to enter, with activities suited to all ages. Mark the dates in your diary, bring friends and family, and get involved! A variety of local entertainment, craft stalls, and interactive sessions will be happening.
Leader of the Council, Councillor Richard Henry said: I've always thought that Stevenage has a friendly and welcoming community. Our events throughout the year offer the perfect opportunity for friends and families to come together, support local businesses and celebrate the unique spirit that makes Stevenage so special. Whether it’s a reflective moment on Armistice Day or the festive joy of our Christmas lights switch-on, there’s something for everyone. We’re excited to see people of all ages getting involved and making memories in our wonderful town.”
