Planning Christmas events in OnePlan

Old town illuminated and decorate like a fairy tale in Christmas festive season in Colmar, Alsace, France

This year, we’re celebrating the incredible planners using OnePlan! Take a look at the impressive range of Christmas events created by our users below:

Christmas Light Switch Ons

Christmas light switch-ons are a highlight of the festive season, transforming towns and cities into sparkling winter wonderlands and bringing communities together to celebrate the magic of Christmas. Here are two great examples planned in OnePlan:

Rotherham Christmas Light Switch On

With OnePlanโ€™s seamless event planning tools, Rotherhamโ€™s festive lights switch-on turned into a brilliantly organised celebration. The event came to life with live music, street entertainment, creative workshops, and a bustling gift market, all carefully planned to create a fun and festive atmosphere for everyone to enjoy!

Luton Christmas Light Switch On

Itโ€™s fantastic to see the event planners behind Lutonโ€™s โ€œLighting Up Luton for Christmasโ€ using OnePlan to bring this festive celebration to life!

With our platform, they mapped out everything from road closures and dot planning to live performance areas, creating a smooth layout that made the event run like a dream. The result? A magical experience for families all across the town to enjoy.

Christmas Community Events

Christmas community events, like Mandurahโ€™s Carols in the Park and Christmas Pageant, bring families and friends together to celebrate the magic of the season. These gatherings create a sense of unity and joy that makes the holidays even more special for local communities!

Carols in the Park

The event plan above is for Mandurahโ€™s Christmas Carols in the Park, a beloved community event that was carefully planned using OnePlan. With OnePlanโ€™s smart tools, the organisers created a layout that brought the festive magic to life, making sure everything ran smoothly on the day.

From keeping the crowd areas flowing to perfectly placing food trucks, activity zones, and performance spaces, every detail was thoughtfully considered. The result? An event that felt welcoming, well-organised, and full of festive cheer, where everyone could relax and enjoy the holiday spirit!

Christmas Pageant

The Mandurah Christmas Pageant is a cherished local event that kicks off the festive season, drawing over 10,000 spectators each year.

This event plan is a perfect example of how our route plotting functionality can be put to great use. The event organiser used it to map out the route for their Float across the event site, ensuring everything was perfectly planned for the big day!

Christmas Markets

Christmas markets, like Kristen Hudginโ€™s Christmas in July event, bring together local artisans and vendors for a festive celebration of creativity and community. OnePlan makes it easy to plan everything from vendor management to crowd flow, space allocation, and custom item placements. 

Christmas in July

Kristen Hudginโ€™s Christmas in July event brings together dozens of artists at a local farm for a day of selling their goods.
 

โ€œWe have over 170 tents and exhibitors across the Christmas in July event,โ€ shared Kristen. โ€œThe ability to scale the tents and make sure everything is perfectly placed is a great benefit of OnePlan. Itโ€™s been a huge time-saver, and I feel more confident in my site map.โ€.

Kristenโ€™s event also has unique items not used at every event, including a fire pit, ring toss games, a petting zoo โ€“ each one of these unique items has a bespoke icon in OnePlan. โ€œOnePlan means I can now plan my Christmas event precisely. Itโ€™s super accurate which gives me confidence when I get on site,โ€ said Kristen.

Christmas in July is the perfect example of a successful market event plan!
