Dannevirke’s Christmas Lights, sponsored and run by For Homes, are an absolute delight to witness. Seven businesses and 10 residences are beautifully lit.
On a gorgeous balmy night, it was a pleasure to walk High Street viewing its five business entries, with two additional displays off the main street atKB Ford in Barraud Street and Little Gem, which is out on Laws Road.

You have to travel to view the residential entries, but they are really worth it. All of them are in town this year.
Four are in the Gordon-Trafalgar-Swinburn-Manila Street blocks – so colourful you can see them from a distance.
Another group is in the MacLaurin-Guinane-King-Princess Streets section of town, while two new entrants feature in Chamberlain and Mathew Streets.
