The Christmas Carnival Carousel will kick off on Sunday, November 24 at 1pm, starting at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall steps. Attendees can expect to see 22 jolly creations at 12 different locations along the route, from Buchanan Galleries to St Enoch Centre.
Families and shoppers can look forward to a delightful show featuring Christmas-themed characters like Father Christmas and Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. Elves, dancing snowflakes, stilt walkers, and other entertainers will also be part of the festivities.
