Perth residents took to the city centre on Saturday evening to see the Christmas lights get turned on.
The event, part of Perth’s 2022 winter festival, returned to the city after a two-year absence.
The highlight of the lights switch-on was the main stage entertainment hosted this year by Britain’s Got Talent presenter Stephen Mulhern, German dance act Cascada and entertainer Lionel Vinyl.
Other performers during the event included The UK Rock Show, Lorraine Crosby Heaven and Hell Show, The Jersey Beats, Beats of Brazil, Mud and Amy in The House.
Provost Xander McDade was joined on stage by Santa at 6.15pm to switch on the lights.
It was followed by a fireworks display across the River Tay.
A day filled with festivities
The annual Christmas Parade also made its way to the main stage on Tay Street, with Perth Theatre’s panto dame leading the way with Santa.
The event started at midday, with a Santa’s Grotto, festive stalls and reindeer and birds of prey also in attendance.
Local dance schools, community groups, and festive characters also took part in the fun.
Our photographer Steve MacDougall was on hand to capture some of the evening’s highlights on camera.
