Local resident, David McCourt, who is the founder of RISE, commented: “Turning on the village Christmas lights has become a magical moment every year for everyone in the Newmarket-on-Fergus community. Each year, we gain more supporters from local businesses, to charities, social enterprises, community groups and other volunteers. This is a true community event, and it makes us all incredibly proud to call Newmarket our home. Each year we go bigger and better with festivities, so we encourage everyone to join us on the night!”
