Santa led a parade from Larne Market Yard to Broadway to switch on the lights and there were also lots of festive-themed characters wandering the streets spreading cheer.
A full programme of entertainment took place throughout Friday evening, including performances by Larne Cheerleading Club, The Salvation Army and Freefall.
