RIDONKULOUS Light Up The Town – FREE EVENT
Friday 20th March | 18:30–20:30

Get ready for a night that glows. Join Scottish Borders Council for Light Up The Town, a free, family-friendly event celebrating cycling, creativity, and community. The highlight of the evening is a LED Glow Ride, setting off from Wilton Lodge Park, with the meeting point and ride briefing at Elliot Bandstand.

Make your bike as lit up as possible using glowing lights of any kind—be bold, be bright! The coolest lighting design will win a prize. Riders will travel along the Active Travel Network to Wee Haugh, where you can expect to see eye-catching lighting installations along the way.

Once at Wee Haugh, enjoy an outdoor cinema, bike maintenance sessions, come-and-try e-bikes, smoothie bikes, LED light displays powered by bikes, and a range of local street food.

Bring your bike, bring your lights, and help us light up the town—for free. Don't worry if you don't have a bike, helmet, or lights, a small number will be available to borrow.'

Don't fancy riding? Not a problem, as there's plenty of action going on at the Wee Haugh!
