The activities have all been organised by the Falmouth Town Team, a partnership between the town council and the Falmouth BID team.

A festive land train, is running between The Moor and Events Square, connecting the town with the activities; an artificial ice-rink on Events Square; and even more snowy streets!

There is a best-dressed festive window competition with the aim of adding even more sparkle and colour to the proceedings. Volunteers from the Cruise Ship Ambassadors as well as others, have stepped forward to help, ensuring once again this event will be a real community effort.
