The Douglas Development Partnership wants everybody to have a 'capital' Christmas.
It's been working closely with retailers, community groups, local businesses, Douglas Council and government departments on a range of festive activities.
And the fun starts today, with the first pre-Christmas evening of late night shopping.
The Christmas lights in Douglas will be switched on a week tonight, on Thursday, December 3.
