Ronnie Rusack Flotilla of Lights
The ever popular annual Ronnie Rusack Flotilla of Light, organised by the Lowland Canals Association, will return on Saturday 8th November to Edinburgh's Union Canal!
About Ronnie Rusack Flotilla of Lights
As the days grow shorter and the nights stretch longer, we find ourselves yearning for moments of joy and connection. The "Ronnie Rusacks Flotilla of Lights" has been a cherished family event for many years, illuminating the Union Canal with vibrant colors, music and laughter.
This magical gathering of boats not only brings life to the canal with an exuberance of colours and sounds but it also creates unforgettable memories for all who gather along its banks.
This year, the Flotilla of Lights will take place on the Union Canal, in Edinburgh, on Saturday the 08th of November 2025, starting from Harrison Park at 6.30pm, and making way,... slowly, towards Edinburgh Quay (by the Leamington Lift bridge).
The passage of the Flotilla should be about 45 minutes long and its sight is going be the same all the way, between Harrison Park and the Leamington Lift bridge, so no need to be right at the start. Same spectacle all along...
The first boats should reach the Leamington lift bridge shortly after 7pm. The last boat should pass the Leamington Lift bridge around 7.45pm.
Come along with a lantern, anywhere on the canal, and you might get a treat!
-parents are reminded to be mindful of their children and their safety during the event since this parade happens in the proximity of water-
Best picture of the Flotilla of Lights wins a £30 prize!
