Swansea welcomes the festive season with its annual Christmas Parade through the city centre on Sunday 22 November 2026 – dancers, bands, choirs, floats, inflatables and light-up displays, ending with Father Christmas switching on the city’s Christmas lights.

The parade is on the city streets, so it costs nothing to watch – just find a spot on the route. Swansea Council is also running free buses until 9pm that day for people going to the parade.

The route and timings are on the council’s page.
