The Crewe Christmas lights switch-on took place on the Crewe Town Square, writes Jonathan White.
Entertainment included Ruskin Soul Band, Ruskin Blue Bin Drummers, Matrix Cheer Squad, and Nantwich-based TheFunkyChoir.com.
Father Christmas also took time out of his busy schedule to make an appearance, although the Grinch also made an appearance and made a nuisance of himself!
Mayor of Crewe Councillor Pam Minshull and South Cheshire College student Ellie Gregory, who designed the Crewe Christmas lights switch-on flyer, turned on the Christmas lights.
This was followed by a firework display by local company Blitz Fireworks.
There were also children’s fairground rides, refreshments stalls and an outdoor market.
Local organisations represented included All Change for Crewe (smarterways to travel) and Creative Crewe.
The switch-on also marked the start of late-night shopping in Crewe over the festive period with late night Thursday shopping until 8pm on December 4, 11 and 18, and Monday and Tuesday December 22 and 23.
