Coalisland lights up for Christmas

THE HEAVY rain didn’t dampen the spirits of those who attended Mid-Ulster District Council’s Coalisland Christmas Lights Switch On event on Sunday 30 November.

The switch on event took place at the Cornmill in the town centre from 5pm – 7pm.

There was lots of festive fun from 5pm-6.30pm, including Christmas music live on stage, face painting, walkabout characters, and the opportunity to meet Santa in his cosy grotto.
Craic Theatre then took to the stage and entertained the crowd before Santa and Chair of the Council’s Development Committee,

Councillor John McNamee counted down and officially illuminated the town and fabulous Christmas tree for the festive period just before 7pm.
