Councillor Peter Haire thanked everyone involved in the “fantastic night” at Mourneview Community Centre.
"It was wonderful to see such a great crowd come out for a truly family-friendly evening filled with Christmas spirit and festive fun,” he said.
"A huge thank you to everyone who joined us. After a few technical problems, a big shout-out goes to Irwin M&E for getting everything up and running again.
"A special thank you to all our talented performers – James Rogers, Bethany Given, and Friendly Faces. A special mention as well to Dickson Primary School, who were a credit to their school and families.
"Grateful thanks also to Lurgan Youth Annex for serving refreshments, and to Mourne Road Spar for kindly supplying them. To everyone who played a part in making the night so special – we truly appreciate you.”
Cllr Haire said the switch-on festivities would not have been possible without the help and support of the Mourneview and Grey Estate & Hospital Estate Community Association.
"Already looking forward to next year’s event!” he added.
Photographer Tony Hendron was there to capture the atmosphere of the night.
