The celebrations began on Friday (November 21) with a quiet hour of outdoor sensory play before families enjoyed face painting, Christmas characters, live music, and street entertainment.
The highlight of the evening was the festive parade, led by Santa and the Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, Councillor Jackson Minford, featuring a vibrant samba band, festive floats, pupils from Larne and Inver Primary School, Scouts and Christmas trains.
