Brigg's largest communal event of the year is tonight and the town centre will be packed for the annual Christmas fair and switch-on of the festive lights.
The fun starts about 4.30pm, with the lights going on at 5pm. Brigg District Lions offer a host of stalls, and the tills will be ringing merrily at town centre businesses - pubs, shops and eating establishments.
The weather will be a big factor in the final attendance.
Brigg Town Council funds the cost of the Christmas lights, erected, as they have been for many years, by Barrie Gray's team from the long-established Brigg electrical business.
Given all the modern health and safety requirements, many UK towns and villages have dropped their illuminations. But Brigg council is determined to see this tradition continue.
Sorry, for 'health and safety' let's substitute 'elf and safety' - given that we are talking about Christmas!
Yo! Ho! Ho!
It's good to be home this christmas, instead of being in NYC.. I really enjoyed the event.. ....much more enjoyable than being in Times Square.
