The streets were illuminated with an enchanting Lantern Parade followed by a Christmas Concert and Switch On of the Christmas lights in the stunning Marine Gardens on Saturday evening.
The fayre included delicious festive food and drinks, Christmas crafts, gifts and more, plus Christmas music, an elf on the shelf trail, hilarious walkabout acts, including The Brussels' Sprouts, and lots more.
Santa also visited Fleetwood, as the Mount Pavilion was transformed into a winter wonderland for the occasion.
Where can I visit Santa’s Grotto in Fleetwood?
Santa will return to his grotto on 2, 16 and 17 December sponsored by local businesses Wok Box and Food for Thought – but places must be booked in advance.
