Coleraine Light Switch On

In Coleraine a week or so ago, we had the Light Switch On. Which is exactly that. Everyone gathers in the town centre and there is a parade of people walking on stilts and marching bands and little boys and girls dressed up in all sorts of costumes. Frosty the snowman and Santa Clause all make an appearance as well. There is a live band and all the shops are open extra late...which is big in Coleraine considering normal closing time for the shops is 5pm. The lights in the town are all switched on and the christmas decorations are lite up and the tree lights all flash on....It's so wonderful. There was even a firework show! The fireworks were great...they had the show right over the river bann and you could see the reflection in the water! oh what fun it was!! Christmas in Coleraine...does it get much better than this?
