Portlaoise main street has now been closed off to accommodate the switching on of the Christmas lights.
Laois locals will flock to the town's main street for the dazzling display at 6pm on Friday November 21.
Footage was caught by the Leinster Express / Laois Live two hours before the event gets underway.
