CRIEFF CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL
Crieff does Christmas with all the trimmings!
The Crieff Christmas Festival is our town’s annual winter wonderland, celebrating the warmth and magic of the festive season in the heart of Strathearn. Every December, James Square is transformed with twinkling lights, artisan markets, and seasonal music. Most importantly? We are home to Scotland’s only Santa’s Post Office, because apparently, the Big Guy knows exactly where the best mail service is!

THE FESTIVAL'S STORY
The Crieff Christmas Festival gives our town a winter heartbeat. It’s a giant "thank you" to our community, designed to boost the High Street and give everyone a reason to gather in the cold for some genuine warmth. By keeping everything free, we ensure that every resident and every visitor can soak up the magic. It’s about more than just a tree; it’s about the people of Crieff coming together to prove that our town is the vibrant place to be, all year round.

FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
We don’t do "half-hearted" holidays here. From the big spectacle to the small, magical details, here is what’s making Crieff the place to be this December:
-
Scotland’s Only Santa’s Post Office: Forget the North Pole; the real magic starts right here. We’ve secured the exclusive rights to the big man’s mail, making this the only spot in Scotland where your letters get that direct-to-Sleigh-HQ treatment.
-
The Christmas Market: A curated collection of local makers, bakers, and creators. It’s the perfect place to find a gift that says "I put more thought into this than a last-minute petrol station box of chocolates."
-
The Big Light Switch-On: The moment James Square officially starts glowing. It’s loud, it’s bright, and it’s the ultimate community "ooh" and "aah" moment that kicks off the season.
-
Late Night Shopping: Our High Street stays up past its bedtime! Explore Crieff’s brilliant independent shops under the fairy lights -perfect for those who prefer their Christmas shopping with a side of atmosphere (and maybe a cheeky festive drink).
-
Live Music & Entertainment: We’re filling the air with more than just the smell of mulled wine. Expect local talent, festive tunes, and enough community spirit to melt the Highland frost.
