WE look back through the Evening Mail photographic archives to Dalton's Christmas Lights Switch On from 1998.
Take a look through the photos and see if you can spot yourselves, a relative or a friend meeting Santa, carol singing and enjoying a mince pie.
This year's Dalton Christmas Lights Switch On has a theme of 'A Storybook Christmas'.
The festive parade will be led by Santa and his reindeer from Tudor Square at 5.30pm. The parade will then head to Market Place ready for the lights switch count down at 6pm.
There will be entertainment and music for all age groups following the lights switch on.
Dalton's Annual Christmas Tree Festival opens at St Mary's Church this Friday from 6pm. The Festival features more than 55 Christmas Trees decorated on the theme of 'The Cinema'.
The display is open each Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 2pm to 6pm until December 27. It is closed Christmas Day, but open on Boxing Day from 2pm to 5pm.
