Here are some snaps from two weeks ago, when on Saturday, November 27, the Sanquhar Christmas lights were switched on.
Sanquhar Academy School Captains Geddies Clark and Jill Watson did the honours.
There was entertainment by the Sanquhar Silver band and the Upper Nithsdale Youth Pipe Band.
Revellers could enjoy stalls selling hot food and there was a mini funfair to keep the children entertained, as well as a very special visit from Santa.
