Around 2,000 people took to the streets of North Bransholme last night to create a "magical" Christmas atmosphere.
Children followed Father Christmas on his sleigh through the streets of the estate – carrying burning torches and singing festive tunes.
The walk finished at North Bransholme Community Centre, where Christmas lights were switched on to a massive cheer from the crowd.
A pied piper then led the crowds to the woods where everyone enjoyed a Winter Wonderland fair.
Councillor Anita Harrison told the Mail: "It was an absolutely magical atmosphere.
"There is nothing quite like it anywhere else. We are the only part of Hull that does anything of this size and it is something we can be very proud of.
"The weather was very good to us. There were people standing on their doorsteps and waving to the people parading by.
"Everyone was so happy and that is what Christmas is all about."
