Light Up Leith

Every December, Leith turns itself into a giant advent calendar. From 1 to 24 December, windows across the neighbourhood are decorated and lit up, and each one is revealed on its own day, so there is a little more to find every evening as Christmas comes closer. Homes, shops, schools and community groups all join in, from the simplest display to the most elaborate. It began in the lockdown winter of December 2020 and has come back every year since. Wrap up, go out after dark and wander the streets of Leith to see how many you can spot. The windows are along ordinary streets, so you can see them on any walk through Leith.
