The festive fun kicks off with Alloa's Christmas Lights Switch On which takes place on Saturday 29th November.
Due to popular demand DJs Dougie Jackson and Lionel Vinyl are making a welcome return and joining them will be street entertainers, while Lionel's Angels will be encouraging the crowd to dance.
Fun starts at 1.30pm and children can come along from 2pm to meet Santa who will be at the stage area at the top of the High Street. The first 100 children to visit will receive a free present.
The Salvation Army Band will be performing during the morning also in the High Street.
The fun fair will be in Candleriggs Car Park from 11am-6pm with Provost Derek Stewart switching on the Christmas lights at 4.30pm.
The Christmas Lights Switch On is the first in a series of festive events happening over the next few weeks in Clackmannanshire. These include Cinderella the Panto in Alloa Town Hall, Search for Santa at Gartmorn Dam, a Christmas Concert in Alloa Town Hall, a Festival of Christmas at Clackmannan Parish Church and Dollar Academy Choir Charity Concert. Santa will also be visiting Dollar on Thursday 4th December for the switching on the Burnside lights while Alloa Round Table will once again be taking to the county's streets with Santa and his helpers.
