Your guide to Candlelit Dartmouth<\/h2>\n

The ultimate springboard to Christmas, Candlelit Dartmouth is a much loved weekend long community event – one that is firmly anchored by pageantry, magic and sparkle. By day, you will find the cobbled streets of Dartmouth<\/a>\u00a0jam packed with entertainers, festive activities and live music, and by dusk, the town is transformed into a winter wonderland…<\/p>\n

Highlights over the weekend include the ceremonial switching on of the Christmas lights whilst a choir and musicians lead carols around the Christmas tree, a spectacular procession with hundreds of beautiful hand-made paper lanterns, and the arrival of the big man himself, by boat! Be sure to watch and wave as Father Christmas\u2019 illuminated vessel glides silently through the moonlit waters of the\u00a0River Dart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Throughout this magical weekend, visitors can also enjoy a variety of market stalls in and around Royal Avenue Gardens and along The Quay, a crafters market offering an eclectic choice of beautiful handcrafted gifts, and even a \u2018Best Dressed Christmas Dog Competition\u2019 – the town positively pulses with excitement throughout this exciting weekend! What\u2019s more, many of Dartmouth\u2019s delightful shops also offer late night shopping – be sure to visit George Street and picturesque Foss Street where you\u2019ll find a great selection of independent shops, and an array of locally made gifts and produce that this thriving harbour town has to offer. Visit the\u00a0Candlelit Dartmouth website<\/a>, or follow their\u00a0Facebook page<\/a>\u00a0for regular event updates – it sure is one not to be missed!<\/p>\n
