A living Advent calendar throughout Leith.

Every window tells a story
Leith's real life Advent calendar
Throughout December, Leith residents and businesses are Lighting Up Leith by decorating their windows and creating a real life Leith Advent calendar for the community to find and explore.
With everything going on in the world, this year we'll be taking donations for Fresh Start.
If you enjoy seeing the windows when you're out and about, please consider helping us to raise vital funds that will go directly to supporting people in the community.
