A Christmas Parade made its way around the town centre, assembling at Quay Road playing fields and travelling along Quay Road, Ann Street, Market Street, Clare Street, Castle Street and The Diamond.
Then the Mayor Cllr Steven Callaghan and Santa Claus switched on the Christmas lights to signal the start of the festive season.
