Yes, only found this out yesterday myself. Will try and keep the forum up to date.

Here is a bit more information I have found

Festive fun and frolics - FRIDAY 30th November 2012.
Start off the festivities, by enjoying some late night Christmas shopping, the parade through the town centre and the switching on of the lights.
A great night for all the family. Solely funded by the businesses and people of Campbeltown and Kintyre

FLOATS FLOATS FLOATS.....

Hi folks, this year the parade will commence from Hazelburn Business Park. If there's any group interested in including a float please get in touch....
