Lockerbie will be the first town in Dumfriesshire to switch on to Christmas with its ceremony tomorrow.
Lantern-making, sponsored by Dryfesdale Church, will run from 1pm until 3.45pm in the upper town hall and is free to join in. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
The winners will be announced at 4pm and, following the lantern parade, will turn on the town’s festive lights at 5pm alongside this year’s winner of the Bev Farish Community Person Of The Year Award.
