Parking will be free in council car parks in Melksham on the day of the Christmas light switch-on, Saturday, December 6.
This comes after Wiltshire Council agreed to a request from the town council.
A Christmas fair will be held from 2pm in the Assembly Hall with stalls and a grotto inside, opened by Father Christmas. The lights switch-on will be at 5pm.
