It is the start of West End Christmas Fortnight today - and Winter WestFest takes place tonight.
Here's a run through of the main highlights to look forward to today :
4pm to 8pm - Winter WestFest returns this year with another special Christmas Market to launch the West End Christmas Fortnight. Following on from last year's inaugural event, which included a festive lighting and projection trail up Perth Road between Miller's Wynd and Blackness Library, this year sees an exciting and major planned alteration to the format.
Winter WestFest organiser Alan Wilson explains: "While our first-ever winter event was a huge success, bringing hundreds of families out to enjoy the Christmas Market and the lights trail, we felt this year we should keep the focus more on the activities around Miller's Wynd, including some lovely Christmas carols from the Winter WestFest choir. As well as the traditional visit from Santa, there will also be children's fairground entertainments, a mix of craft stalls, a food stall and mulled wine available from Cairn O' Mohr to warm the parents up."
The Winter WestFest Christmas Market event begins at 4pm, Santa arrives around 6.30pm and the event concludes at 8pm.
