Watford’s Winterfest announced to commence the festive season

Wednesday, 15 November 2023 18:43

A brand new star spangled festive event will take place in Watford town centre

The Parade will be adorned with funfair rides, including a rodeo reindeer, test of strength and many more. There will also be many fun-filled festive activities for all ages, and copious amounts of food and drink selections. Not to mention a few special live performances.

Included on this starry night, at 4pm a Winterfest parade will take place outside of Metro bank and McDonald’s on the lower High street.

A marching band with costume characters and local community groups will move along the High Street spreading the Christmas spirit across the town.

Watford Town Centre BID are delighted to put together this joyful event for the local community to mark the start of a tantalising Christmas season. Thank you to BID for funding the town’s sparkling LED Christmas light installations for the fifth year, which will light up the night at the end of the high street parade. The event will run from 2-6pm and entry is free.
