Four fabulously festive events in St Ives
We have compiled four fabulously festive events that are taking place throughout December, perfect for getting you into the Christmas spirit.
Its vibrant art scene and picturesque fishing harbour are just two of the reasons why St Ives is one of Cornwall’s best loved destinations. With its quaint cobbled streets, assortment of quirky independent shops and gorgeous beaches, the appeal is clear to see. That is why we carefully selected St Ives for our collection of properties, Camaret Gardens, which sit blissfully above the town with far-reaching views across St Ives Bay, all the way to Godrevy Lighthouse and beyond.
Not only is St Ives an excellent destination for summer visits by the sea, it also makes for a fantastic place to visit during the winter months! This beautiful town comes alive in the festive season with a variety of seasonal events for everyone to enjoy, welcoming visitors from far and wide to celebrate Christmas in style.

St Ives Lantern Parade
When and where? Saturday 7th December from 6pm. The event starts at The Guildhall, St Ives
On Saturday 7th December from 6pm, the town of St Ives will come alive with a magical and mystical Lantern Parade. Now in its third year, the outdoor celebration welcomes residents and visitors to the area to enjoy an evening admiring the colourful lanterns while listening to the rhythms of Samba Celtica – West Cornwall’s high energy samba band. A much-loved event by the local residents, many of them spend weeks designing and creating their mystical masterpieces ready to reveal to the public during the parade.

Boxing Day Swim
When and where? Thursday 26th December at 12pm, Porthminster Beach.
Banish the Christmas blues with a refreshing (and rather chilly) dip in the sea at Porthminster beach. Join the hundreds of brave Boxing Day swimmers as they dash into the ocean to raise funds for a chosen local charity. Or, if you don’t fancy taking the plunge yourself, you can always come along to cheer the swimmers on. There will be hot chocolate and bacon sandwiches on offer from the beach café to keep you warm.
