Crowds gathered at the popular Troon Wintertainment 2023 event on Sunday, November 19.
The annual family fun day, organised by Troon Community Council, included a town parade led by the 1st Troon BB Band with a vintage Rolls Royce and Gala Queen and Princesses.
Local community groups, societies and charities also joined in the parade through the town from Templehill.
Among those participating were the local RNLI team, the Troon Coastal Rowing Club and the Micah Project.
Events took place throughout the town, with Owl Magic, the Girls Brigade, St Patrick's Primary, the Troon Development Trust and many more all contributing.
The Troon School of Dance, KB Dance and Performing Arts, Livewire Theatre Company, the Ayrshire Ukulele Clan and Ayrshire Fiddle Orchestra all performed at the Old Parish Church.
Joe Millar, Troon's Citizen of the Year, switched on the lights display at 4pm, with help from the Gala Queen and princesses and from Mrs Claus, before the lighting of the town's Christmas beacon.
Alongside the Wintertainment festivities the local RNLI team held their annual fund-raising day, while fairground rides provided an extra dimension to the entertainment and Marr Capella sang carols and Christmas songs on the steps of the Town Hall.
Several local businesses opened their doors to customers to give the local economy an additional boost as the festive season began in style.
