Don't go into Brigg Market Place tonight (Friday, November 27) expecting to see the Christmas lights come on because the switch will be thrown on the town centre illuminations on Friday, December 4.
Our apologies if you already knew December 4 is the big day. But not everyone is in the loop and Brigg Blog has followers who live outside the town.
Next Friday night we suggest you get into the Market Place by 5pm to ensure a good vantage point to see the Christmas lights come on.
Provided by Brigg Town Council, they are LED now, which means big savings on electricity compared to the days of conventional bulbs.
Brigg District Lions' Christmas fair (from 4.30pm), late night shopping and other attractions will be on offer.
But more of that nearer the time...

A request has gone in for the Station Road area to be included next year so that people coming on/off the train at Christmas time have a nice display
In an ideal world, it would be nice to have Crimbo lights everywhere......however, an enormous amount of money has been spent on replacing and extending the Christmas illuminations....In my opinion, too much financial capital has been focused on a limited festive season....12 days...while the powers that be seem to have forgotten that there are another 11 months when the town's other planned events could benefit from a bit more monetary input.....
Ironically, the lights may portray Brigg in positive terms, but for most of the festive season, the shops are closed, so the retail market gains limited advantage.
