There’s not just one or two but a total of nine community-led Christmas events taking place with one for each town to host their own unique Christmas celebration event and show their pride in their local area.
The most spectacular event of all is the borough’s annual Winter Parade which is taking place in Stalybrige this year on Saturday 15 November to kick off the start of the celebrations across Tameside
