Santa met local boys and girls who gave him lists of what they want for Christmas.
It's been half a century since the very first Christmas 'switch on' took place in the island.
The weekend event coincides with International Pride Month and the 51st anniversary of the Stonewall riots.
The scheme has been backed by the island's Lieutenant-Governor, and is the first of its kind in the Channel Islands.
Sunny spells and isolated light showers. After dusk fair spells with isolated showers.
