St Ives Christmas Lights

St Ives features a distinctive display of Christmas lights, most notably the Fishermen’s Lanterns.

These are positioned along the harbour front and Smeaton’s Pier to create reflections on the water at high tide. The display offers a clear route for an evening walk through the town’s main scenic areas.

The illuminations extend into the town centre, covering streets such as Fore Street and the Digey, where independent businesses often feature seasonal window displays. For current event schedules and switch-on dates, please visit the St Ives in December website.
