Christmas Lights Switch On Omagh

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is delighted to announce a packed programme of festive events to celebrate the Christmas season across the District.

The countdown to Christmas begins with the Christmas Lights Switch-On Events in Omagh Town Centre on Saturday 21 November.

Visitors can enjoy a full day of seasonal entertainment including brass bands, carol singing, festive characters, and arts and crafts.

Local performers will then take to the stage at Omagh Courthouse, with entertainment starting from 1pm.

We will welcome performances from Arvalee School and Resource Centre Omagh who will help create a wonderful festive atmosphere at our Christmas Lights Switch on.

The main switch-on celebrations begin at 4.30pm, leading up to the official lighting of the Christmas displays at 5.30pm.

Strule Arts Centre will host a variety of seasonal workshops, including Christmas decoration, wreath-making and Christmas Angel workshops. Christmas art workshops will also take place at Strule Arts Centre.
