Popular children's superheroes PJ Masks joined Lord Mayor John Finucane for the festive switch on with music provided by Fortwilliam Musical Society.
There was also plenty of fun on stage with performances from Mr Hullaballoo, the Shelf-ish little Elves by Christina Nelson getting the crowds in great spirits before the big switch-on.
