Project Description

Dalry action group are a group of volunteers from Dalry who meet throughout the year to organise Dalrys annual event of the switch on of the towns Christmas lights. This is always a well attended event by hundreds of families from our community which we, as a group, fund ourselves to ensure as many families as possible can enjoy by keeping most activities free. 

We offer free led light wands to all the children that attend as well as free facepainting, balloons, magician, food and drink, santa grotto visits and gifts. The children welcome santa on his sleigh led by local pipe bands which always creates a lovely festive atmosphere. The only thing that would cost families is the fairground rides which is optional for families to use. All other activities are free of charge.

We do verious fundraisers throughout the year to try and raise funds as a group to maintain this as a free event.
