Aldgate in Winter Festival

Aldgate Connect BID is proud to announce that Aldgate in Winter Festival will return on Friday 11th December 2026, celebrating its 10th anniversary!

Join us from 12.30pm to 7.30pm on Friday 11th December for an free evening of creativity, entertainment and community celebration.

This year marks a special milestone for the festival, celebrating a decade of bringing the local community together, with Devonshire Square providing a new home for much of the festival activity.

You’ll once again be able to enjoy all the festival favourites, including the iconic Lantern Parade, showstopping live performances on The Aldgate Stage, Christmas Tree switch-on in Aldgate Square, lantern-making workshops, hot meals in the Community Feast and more!

Whether you’re a performer, volunteer, or simply a festival-goer, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. So join us and help light up Aldgate this winter once again!
