The cold snap didn’t deter people from attending the family fun event which included the much-anticipated arrival of Santa.
The crowds were entertained by various choirs before Santa and the Deputy Mayor of ABC Council, Councillor Kyle Savage, pushed the plunger to switch on the lights. Photographer Tony Hendron went along and captured a flavour of the celebrations.
