Monksland lights switch on event

The magic of Christmas will come alive in Monksland this Friday, December 5, with the annual Christmas lights switch-on.

Organised by Monksland Town Team, the lights will be switched on from Monksland Business Park (beside Supervalu) starting at 6.30pm.

On the evening, there will be a special performance by the students of Attitude Dance and Stage School, as well as an appearance from the man in the red suit, Santa Claus himself.

Free hot chocolate will also be available, ensuring attendees stage cosy while enjoying the festive celebration.

Coinciding with the magic of the Late Late Toy Show, the event is set to be an altogether festive affair.
