A RUN of festive events by Alloa BID came to a spectacular end with a superhero party at the Speirs Centre.

Kids were delighted to meet characters like Spiderman, Captain America, Batman and Bumble Bee on December 17.

All ages were kept entertained and amazed at the sold out celebration by the heroes showing off some of their finest moves including backflips and dancing to Gangnam Style.

There was an opportunity to get faces painted in a festive style or as a superhero thanks to Amy's Funky Faces.

Plenty of excited youngsters took advantage of having one last chance to visit Santa and tell him what they wanted for Christmas before he started packing his sleigh.

Lorraine Douglas from Alloa BID said: "The whole series of events went really went really well and everyone was happy. Santa's Grotto exceeded last year's numbers. Now the events are established we're seeing the same faces coming back."
