Due to the 2020 COVID19 pandemic, the Littleborough Christmas Lights Switch-on event was cancelled. In it's place, Littleborough Events and Associations Forum produced a switch-on video featuring messages from the Mayor of Rochdale, Cllr Billy Sheerin and Reverend Ian Bullock. The Littleborough Lions' Peace Poster winner, Daisy Treaton, did the countdown to the virtual switch-on.
