The lights, which are set to be switched on this Saturday (November 27), are organised by the Fakenham Area Partnership (FAP).
The group upgraded the display between 2008 and 2010 with LED lights, but required further replacements this year.
Thanks to sponsors, Christmas tree lights have been restrung and multicoloured features introduced - reviving the display's brilliance.
