People across the island can catch sight of the young farmers' holiday convoy this weekend.
Organized by the Isle of Man Young Farmers, the 2025 Christmas Tractor Run supports two charities: Stand up to Suicide and Isle of Man Agricultural Benevolent Trust.
The tradition spans two nights, Saturday December 6 and Sunday December 7, with tractors adorned in vibrant Christmas lights.
Tractors gather on Church Road in Port Erin at 16:45 GMT, departing at around 18:15 via Bridson Street, Station Road, and Castletown Road to reach Castletown roundabout by 18:35.
The parade continues through Colby, Ballabeg, Ballasalla, Ballamodha to Foxdale and St John’s, then Crosby, Union Mills to Douglas and TT Grandstand, lighting up Glenclutchery Road, ending at 20:00.
The main route starts at Tynwald Hill, heading down the A1 to Peel at 16:15, with an estimated finish around 20:00.
Routes largely match last year's, raising funds like £18,800 previously for charities including The Children’s Centre.
