'You all brought the spirit of Christmas with you' - Thanks given for all those who supported Boston Christmas Festival

The three-day, Boston Borough Council event returned last Friday (November 28) and featured a range of seasonal activities.

Coun Dale Broughton, leader of the council, said: “Thank you to each and every resident and visitor who came to Boston to officially start and celebrate Christmas with us.

“Whether you came to watch the lights switched on, watch the parade, went ice skating, followed the ice sculpture trail or took part in the Santa Fun Run, you all brought the spirit of Christmas with you and added to the atmosphere of this special event. The Boston Christmas Festival truly brought all communities together, young and old.

“Thank you to our partners, businesses, generous sponsors and dedicated community groups who supported the event.”

Concluding, he added: “We hope everyone enjoyed themselves, made memories with family and friends and hope you will celebrate with us all again in Boston next year.”

Photographer Holly Parkinson visited the festival on Sunday for The Standard, capturing a selection of images.
