The Mayor of Letterkenny, Cllr Dessie Larkin, is to forgo his right to turn on the town’s Christmas lights this year.
Instead, Mayor Larkin will give the opportunity to a lucky child who wins a colouring competition on the theme of ‘Christmas in Letterkenny.’
The big switch-on takes place at Market Square in the Cathedral Town next Friday at 7pm.
Local businesses are going to extra yard and will stay open late in a bid to provide some festive feel.
Santa will arrive on his special sleigh which will be pulled by huskies.
There will also be carol singers, story-tellers and lots more for the official start to the Christmas countdown in Letterkenny.
