Island e gaming firm Celton Manx is to sponsor two of the Island's most popular community events for the third year in a row.
The company is backing Douglas council's fireworks display on the beach and the Christmas lights switch-on outside the town hall, with large crowds expected at both events.
The company's executive director Bill Mummery said: 'Celton Manx believes in channelling its support in ways that can benefit the widest cross section of the community, so once again we are pleased to be sponsoring these two large-scale events that not only prove unfailingly popular with all generations but also add vibrancy and colour to the town.'
Mayor Carol Malarkey will set the bonfire off at 6.45pm on 5 November and 'throw the switch' for the festive town centre lights five weeks before Christmas, on 21 November.
