Everyone is encouraged to bring banners, placards and flags - but the most important thing is to show up.
I CAN'T MAKE THE RALLIES, BUT I WANT TO WATCH AND SUPPORT THE EFFORT.
Lights On is all about a striking visual of keeping the light on for Scotland rejoining the EU, so one suggestion is create a visual in the Scottish landscape.
You could write in the sand on one of our gorgeous beaches, light a candle in your tenament window, put your placard amongst bracken and Scots pine or wave your flags at a Scottish landmark. Get creative, snap a photo and share with ‘#LightsOn’.
Don't forget to buy The National today or Tuesday, where you will find a Light On poster, perfect for placing in your window.
You can watch all the action, including the rally at Holyrood, being live streamed by Independence Live.
