Roger Arthurs from Going Spare had been a driving force, along with the town council, to secure the money to pay for the lights.
"It's been really satisfying," Roger said. "I've been up and down the High Street asking businesses and shopkeepers whether they would be prepared to have Christmas lights on their premises and they all agreed.
"It was really great to get that sense of community and wanting to promote Wick during the festive season."
