Christmas Lights
Forth switched on its Christmas lights for the 21st time on Sunday 29th November 2023 at 4.30pm. There was a large crowd in attendance to help Forth get into the Christmas spirit, Isa Gardiner who has given much to the village over the years had the honour of switching the lights on this year and many of her friends and family were there to enjoy it with her. The village was also visited by the Grinch and friends who stopped by to have their picture taken with the children. Forth & District Initiative would like to thank Isa, and also our friends at lightways and South Lanarkshire Council, for switching on the lights,and everyone who joined us for the switch on and those who helped make the day a success.
We have purchased ten lights this year and they are now decorating the Main Street,the money to purchase these lights was generously donated by Cloburn Quarry.

The Initiative group also gifted Christmas wreaths to the Church and the Resource Centre to help get the village into the festive spirit.
