The Dundee Hooley will return for the third consecutive year to celebrate St Andrew’s Day.
The event has become a favourite in the city’s winter calendar.
A series of activities and entertainment will be put on in the city centre – with the event also given a new location for 2024.
Lord Provost Bill Campbell said: “This is a chance for people from across the city and further afield to celebrate St Andrew’s Day and the start of the festive season with a magical display of creativity and artistry.
“We are looking forward to making the procession one to remember with people either taking part or lining the streets, taking in the magical scene.”
Here are all the details about the 2024 Dundee Hooley.
