Crowds Enjoy Magherafelt Christmas Lights Switch On!
The rain didn’t dampen the festive spirit as a large crowd attended this year’s Christmas Lights Switch On in Magherafelt on Saturday 23 November.
Market Square hosted a Children’s Christmas Village where children met the Grinch, enjoyed Christmas crafts and activities, puppet shows and face painting.
Live entertainment was also on stage throughout the afternoon with local choirs and musicians.
The main event was Santa’s arrival to switch on the Christmas lights with help from the Deputy Chair of Mid Ulster District Council, Councillor Wesley Brown, who also helped to launch the firework display and kick off the festive season in Magherafelt this year.
The Maghera Christmas Lights Switch On will take place on Saturday 30 November, for more information visit the Christmas webpage.
