Family focused festive fun took place from 6pm at Market Square, including music to get you in the festive mood from on-stage DJ, a special preview of Bardic Theatre's 'Cinderella' and a sing-a-long with the Snow Sisters.
Drop in arts and crafts, face painting and caricature artist sessions also took place in Ranfurly House.
Santa then arrived in style by a Mallaghan lorry to turn on the town’s Christmas lights with Chair of Mid Ulster District Council, Councillor Dominic Molloy.
A fabulous, fun and festive night was had by all.
