Boggabri locals and visitors alike converged on Middle Park for the night markets and lighting of the Christmas tree on Friday.

The hot weather also gave the children a chance to try out the new splash pad for before making their way to the main street to explore the markets and see Santa.

The large crowd were appreciative of the free barbecue and the children lined up for the jumping castle and water slide after sampling a sausage sandwich and cold snow cone.

One mother said: “how good is this? the children are loving seeing their friends from school and joining in these free activities, and I have caught up with a lot of friends.”
