The festive event took place at the Cornmill in the town centre and featured live music, face painting, walkabout characters, and the opportunity to meet Santa in his cosy grotto.
Craic Theatre entertained the crowd before Santa and Chair of the Council’s Development Committee, Councillor John McNamee, counted down and officially illuminated the town and Christmas tree.
A fabulous, fun and festive evening was had by all as these pictures testify.
