November 25, 2019Thousands turned out for an afternoon full of festive cheer as the Renfrew Christmas lights were switched on this weekend.
There was fun for all the family with entertainment put on in the town centre designed to get everyone into the Christmas spirit.
Santa took a break from his busy schedule to hear what the children in Renfrew had on their lists in advance of the big day and there was plenty of opportunity to get the perfect photo with Rudolph and friends.
There was something for even the littlest elf with puppet shows, face painting and a balloon artist in the town hall, and funfair rides in the Charles Avenue car park for the thrill seekers willing to brave the cold.
Christmas wouldn’t be complete without carols and the Renfrew Burgh Band delighted audiences with all the favourites during their annual carol concert.
Later in the afternoon, the main stage in the town centre – hosted by Pulse FM – saw local artists showcase their talents before the big switch on arrived at 5pm.
Renfrewshire’s Depute Provost Cathy McEwan was joined by lucky competition winner, Mairead Campbell, age 9, from St James’ Primary, to turn on the lights and set off the spectacular fireworks display above Renfrew Town Hall.
She said: “I was delighted to see so many people in Renfrew this weekend.
“Everyone was having a great time and the fireworks to finish the event were incredible.
“Mairead did a great job helping me switch on the lights and I hope she had a brilliant day out with her family.”
