Thousands return to Cookstown Switch On event
Thousands turned out to attend the return of Mid Ulster District Council’s Cookstown Christmas Lights Switch On event, on Friday evening, 21 November.
The switch on event took place on William Street from 6.30pm – 8pm. The street came alive with a range of entertainment, including performances from the Traditional Music in Schools Programme, Tullylagan Pipe Band and Ryan McGarrity and Alan McPhearson, as well as a fantastic Showstoppers Parade that entertained the crowd.
There was also plenty of on-street entertainment including face painting, The Gaming Bus and lots of character walkabouts for all those Christmas selfies.
Santa then arrived in style to switch on the town’s renowned Christmas lights just before 7.30pm.
A fabulous, fun and festive night was had by all.
