Christmas Lights Switch-On in Platja d'Aro

Platja d'Aro will kick off the holiday season with another edition of its Christmas Lights Switch-On, one of the most anticipated events of the Christmas season. The event will take place on Saturday, November 14, 2026, in the Town Hall Square, and will feature music, entertainment, and the traditional lighting ceremony.

The afternoon will begin at 6 p.m. with a performance by the Black Music Big Band, who will entertain the crowd with live music. An hour later, at 7 p.m., the highlight of the day will arrive with the lighting of the Christmas lights and the "Eclipsi de Nadal" show, featuring actor Xavi Espinosa and meteorologist Francesc Mauri.

With the lighting of the Christmas lights, the streets and public spaces of Platja d'Aro will be dressed up for Christmas and will symbolically mark the beginning of a few weeks full of activities, meetings and celebrations.

One of the highlights will once again be the Avet d'Avets, which will be installed for the fourth time in the Town Hall roundabout. It is a 10-meter-tall Christmas tree, made up of natural fir trees placed on a metal structure to create a single, large figure.

The event will also have a charitable aspect. Throughout the afternoon, donations can be made to obtain an Advent calendar. The proceeds will go to the pediatric ward of the Josep Trueta Hospital.

An afternoon designed to be shared with family and to begin enjoying the most magical atmosphere of Christmas.

Come and light up Christmas in Platja d'Aro!
