Residents don’t want to miss the much-loved Stourport Christmas parade and light switch-on this week.
Everyone is invited to join the festivities at the Three Kings Parade on Friday, November 24, which is being led by children from St Bartholomew’s Primary School and Astley CofE Primary School.
The parade will start at 6pm from Raven Street and circle around the town centre streets before briefly stopping at the Villeneuve-le-Roi Gardens and returning to the Civic Centre for the switch-on and firework display at 7.20pm.
Stourport Town Council said: “The Three Kings will once again lead the parade which will assemble at 5.15pm in the car park behind the Civic Centre.
“In honour of Stourport-on-Severn being awarded Heritage Port Status, the mayor also thought it would be fun to choose ‘SNOWport-on-Severn’ as the theme for this years’ best dressed shop window display competition.
“We look forward to you all joining us to bring a warm sense of community to this annual event.”
Children and parents from seven other schools and youth groups will also be taking part in the parade with a short service being held at the Civic Centre before the fireworks display marking the start of Christmas.
There will also be a craft fayre and refreshments in the Civic Hall, live music and pantomime tickets on sale with the nativity scene featuring in York Street.
Road closures will be in place between 5.45pm and 7.45pm at New Street, Martins Way, Bridge Street, Raven Street, High Street, Vale Road, Lion Hill, Mitton Street, York Street and Lichfield Street.
