The Higham Sparkle is set to take place on November 23, and Raunds will dress for the Christmas period on November 24, with Corby, Wellingborough, Rushden, and Kettering all following suit later in the month.
It’s a tradition that towns and villages up and down the country enjoy, and use as an opportunity to bring communities together, and in Northamptonshire it’s been a big part of the calendar for years.
Before 2024 kicks off, let’s take a look back at some retro photos from lights switch-ons from years gone by.
Get ready, because there are some real Christmas crackers here.
