Coalisland Lights Up for Christmas
Coalisland Christmas Lights Switch On brought the community together on Sunday 30 November for a festive celebration filled with music, family activities, and Christmas cheer. The Coalisland Christmas Lights Switch On event, organised by Mid Ulster District Council, proved that not even heavy rain could dampen the holiday spirit.
Festive Fun at the Cornmill
From 5pm to 7pm, the Cornmill in the town centre was transformed into a hub of festive activity. Families gathered to enjoy an evening of live entertainment and seasonal attractions.
Highlights included:
- Christmas music live on stage
- Face painting for children
- Walkabout festive characters
- A chance to meet Santa in his cosy grotto
The early portion of the evening (5pm to 6.30pm) offered plenty for families to enjoy, setting a warm and welcoming atmosphere despite the weather.
Entertainment from Craic Theatre
The talented performers from Craic Theatre took to the stage and delighted the crowd with festive entertainment. Their performance helped build anticipation ahead of the big moment.
The Big Switch On
Just before 7pm, Santa was joined by Councillor John McNamee, Chair of the Council’s Development Committee. Together, they led the countdown to light up Coalisland for the Christmas season.
When the switch was flicked, the town and its impressive Christmas tree were illuminated, bringing festive magic to the heart of the community.
A Night to Remember
