What's on in Buckinghamshire
Oxford’s Christmas Light Festival 2025
14 November - 16 November
While Oxford city centre doesn’t have a regular switching on of the Christmas lights, it does have the amazing Oxford Light Festival. Running over the weekend of 14th to 16th November 2025 it brings illuminations to the city in lots of different forms and events.
The traditional Christmas lights will be on in the streets and at locations around Oxford, hand-made lanterns, light parades, LED displays, glow in the dark drawings, twinkling fairy lights and more will be shining in our neighbourhoods.
