Letterkenny folk came out in force last night as the town officially switched on its Christmas lights.

Hundreds of people of all ages gathered at Market Square for the official switch-on at 6pm.

MC Keith Fletcher ensured there was plenty of craic with many beloved Christmas tunes, dancing, singing and a special appearance from Santa!

The festive feeling was strong everywhere, thanks to the Letterkenny Chamber team.

Art competition winner Dylan Murray had the honour of officially switching on the lights.
