Christmas lights switch on date

Ballymena Christmas light switch on is set for Thursday November 15, 2018.

The Mayor, Councillor Lindsay Millar, will turn on the lights, with a little help from the main man himself, Santa Clause!

The family friendly event will take place from 4pm to 7pm and will feature a parade complete with Clydesdale horses, santa's reindeer and sleigh.

A special performance will be given by a 45 strong ‘Raise the Roof’ Children's choir and a live band will also entertain the gathered crowd.

Don't miss this great night of Christmas celebration, and watch as Ballymena is lit up with festive cheer!
