Newport’s Festive Countdown Begins Saturday
Get ready to kick off the festive season in style with Newport’s “Countdown to Christmas” event on Saturday, 14th November. This spectacular celebration promises a fun-filled day for the whole family, packed with music, entertainment, and festive cheer.
From 2pm to 5.30pm, Newport city centre will come alive with the sounds of live music and the laughter of families enjoying fairground rides. Organised by the Newport Now Business Improvement District (BID) in collaboration with Newport City Council and Newport City Radio, this event is set to mirror the success of previous years, with the main stage located at the bustling junction of Charles Street and Commercial Street.
Music lovers are in for a treat, as the day will feature performances from various musical acts, including three star headliners boasting over 25 million worldwide record sales. These stars will join the city’s mayor, Councillor Deb Harvey, in the exciting moment of switching on the Christmas lights, illuminating the city centre in festive splendour.
But that’s not all! The event will also feature fairground rides, delightful costume characters, face painters, and even a special appearance by Santa himself. The grand finale will be a breathtaking laser light show in John Frost Square, lighting up the night sky and marking the official start of the Christmas season in Newport.
For those considering making Newport their home, events like these highlight the vibrant community spirit and lively atmosphere that make the city so special.
