Switch On Day
Switch on day officially opens at 10am with market stalls and the final lights switch on at 5:30pm.
The actual road closure starts earlier (7am ?) and goes until 7pm since the road closure needs to be in place while the many market stalls pack up and leave.
For the volunteers, the morning starts at 6am or earlier and goes on until after 7pm because any remaining litter needs to be cleared up before leaving.
This is the rough timeline for events
