It’s true… Darwen Christmas Lights Switch-On just got even better with an extra special addition!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll have seen that TikTok royalty and proud Darrener, Max Balegde, will be taking to the big stage this Saturday to join our headliners Ultrabeat and help switch on the town’s Christmas lights!
We’re SO excited to welcome this homegrown VIP to the stage for one of our favourite events of the year.
And if, somehow, you don’t know who Max is, he’s a self-made social media superstar with a whopping 3.6 million followers on TikTok! He’s hosted the BBC series Date Me At My Worst, appeared on The Celebrity Apprentice and the Australian version of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
But despite his global career, Max has never forgotten his Darwen roots and regularly talks about how much his hometown means to him. The former Holy Trinity pupil even went viral last Christmas after sharing the delights of a proper Darwen night out with his family and friends!
And we hear his grandma is particularly excited about seeing him take on the very important job of pressing the big red button…
So, come and join us in the Market Square this Saturday with your family and friends for a brilliant day of festive fun, fantastic entertainment and a very special Christmas lights switch-on.
We can’t wait for you to join us in the Market Square, Max!
