Macclesfield – Step Into Christmas 2025

Join us for Macclesfield’s ‘Step Into Christmas 2025’ event on Saturday 29th November 2025 from 11am to 5pm. The fun packed day, officially marking the countdown to Christmas and a bumper line up of festivities to get in to the Christmas spirit!

The big day kicks off from 11am on the Silk FM stage with a festive welcome from the Major followed by Macc Youth Brass Band, performing around the Christmas tree from 11.30am to 12.30pm in Market Place.

The pace then steps up from 12.30pm, with a bumper lineup of live music on the Silk FM stage organised by Choose Macc. The town centre will also be buzzing throughout the day with entertainment including stilt-walkers, jugglers, magic performers and street entertainment.

Pop in to the Town Hall to make a festive buttonhole with HomeStead Grown and also find some unique Christmas gifts in the ‘Made in Macc’ makers market.

The annual ‘Father Christmas Parade’ will be making their way around the town centre from 3pm, finish off at Market Place in time for a big Christmassy sing-along until 5pm.

Enjoy some quality time with family and friends and get into the festive spirit! It’s also a great opportunity to explore numerous shops in the town centre to find unique gift and lots cafes and restaurants to enjoy a bite to eat or meal together.
