The festive season in East Kilbride has begun with the arrival of the town Christmas tree.
The huge tree now stands on the 'Three Bears' Priestknowe roundabout awaiting its decorations.
Locals will be ringing in the festive cheer more traditionally this year after COVID cancelled Christmas for many, including the popular annual Christmas lights switch-on in 2020.
But this year the festivities will be back with bells on when the light-up event returns to the cobbled streets of East Kilbride Village at 5pm on Sunday, November 21.
Hosted by Clyde 1’s Gina McKie, there will be free entertainment on the night including a traditional brass band and New Orleans jazz band playing carols and Christmas classics, children’s rides and walkabout characters such as the Elf on the Shelf and Christmas Minions.
And, of course, crowds of excited families can expect the arrival of Santa.
There is even guaranteed snow on the night, as the switching on of the lights trigger a fall of flakes from above.
