Strabane is set to sparkle this festive season as the town comes alive for its annual Christmas Lights Switch-On on Saturday 22nd November, promising a full day of family fun, festive markets, live entertainment and community cheer from 12 noon to 5:30pm.

Members of the public are being encouraged to join in the celebrations for Ulster-Scots Language Week 2025, taking place from 24–28 November, with a vibrant programme of events across the City and District.

The city and district’s festive campaign for 2025 will get off to a visually enticing start with the opening of the 2025 Guildhall Craft Fair next weekend. Coming just weeks after the hugely successful Halloween celebrations, the fair marks the official start of the Council's Christmas festivities.
