✨️ EVENT DETAILS
Watford Town Centre Winterfest is a wonderful FREE event to begin the Christmas period including funfair rides, festive activities, food & drink stalls, a high street parade and live entertainment.

Our BID-funded Christmas event takes place on The Parade, which will be filled with activities suited for all ages including funfair rides, a community feel and a fun festive vibe.  As well as an extended Watford market, we will also have additional food, drink and community stalls, and some special live performances.

One of the main features of the day will be the Winterfest parade, which will begin at 4pm outside of Metro Bank and McDonald’s on the lower high street.  The festive parade will include a marching band, costume characters, local community groups plus more special guests.  The Winterfest parade will last around 30 minutes and will move all the way up to the pond area on The Parade.

As well as organising Winterfest, Watford Town Centre BID has once again funded the town’s stunning LED Christmas light installations, with thanks to a contribution from Watford Borough Council.  The festive LED twinkly lights provide a wonderful backdrop for all Watford Town Centre users, and they will complement Harlequin Watford’s beautiful displays.  The town’s festive installations will light up Winterfest at the conclusion of the parade (roughly 4:30pm) and remain lit until January 2026.

🎁 CHRISTMAS MARKET LATES: 6PM - 10PM
Market Lates will seamlessly pick up the baton from 6pm to 10pm, extending the festivities into the evening and creating a full day of community-centred enjoyment.
