Bath has invited one of its most famous residents, film star Nicolas Cage, to switch on the city’s brand new Christmas lights on 26th November 2009.
The switch-on will take place at 6.30pm when Nicolas Cage joins the stage on Milsom Street. Mr Cage who is “excited and privileged” to be switching on the lights has said that he “loved Bath and thought it a beautiful city”. This year Bath will have a brand new set of Christmas lights provided by a company who have illuminated cities from Paris to New York.
The annual tradition of the Christmas Lights switch-on marks the start of the Bath Christmas Market and late night shopping in Bath. The event will kick off at 4.30pm with musicians and bands and at 6.00pm Heart FM DJ Toby Anstis will be on stage to entertain the crowds before Nicolas Cage makes his appearance to switch on the Christmas lights.
