The magical season of Christmas kicks off in spectacular style in Redcar Town Centre and we hope you will join us in what will be an evening of stunning visual displays, performance, music, lights, and all-around joy!

Following on from last year’s Illumination Parade, we are bringing a creative spectacle to the town of Redcar with representatives from schools and community groups throughout the borough as we Deck the Shores!

Over 200 participants will throng the streets with artwork created with professional artists, including lanterns costumes and exciting visual spectacles that will light up the route from the Civic Centre to Redcar Town Clock.

The parade will also be decked with professional performers, with the sights, sounds and smells of everything festive whilst being entertained by outstanding musical artists Sisi as well as Groove Inc for a little bit of soul, funk, and Christmas classics, supported by the emerging talents of Tuned In’s young people.

The ‘Deck the Shores’ Illumination Parade will begin at 4pm from the Civic Centre, so wrap up warm and follow the crowds on a truly inspiring route of party.

And if that wasn’t enough, the big button will be pressed by Three Redcar Christmas Stars – three community champions nominated by you for their acts of kindness over the past year – along with the Mayor of Redcar and Cleveland.
