New eye-catching Christmas tree to kick start festive season...
IT’S that time of year again. Christmas is coming and Castleisland is getting the festive season off to a timely and enjoyable start on Friday, December 6 at 6pm for some street entertainment and festive fun.
“Christmas is a wonderful time of year and it’s always an exciting time for adults and children when it comes to celebrating it. We hope people come out and support the start of Christmas 2019 in Castleisland,” said Michael John Kearney, Chairperson of Castleisland Chamber Alliance.
On December 6 Castleisland Chamber Alliance will launch its annual Christmas shopping day in the town as well as its ‘Christmas Street Party’, which will be held in the Walsh Electrical car park. It promises to be a fantastic celebratory event for the whole community. And, yes, you’ve guessed it, Santa and his elves will be there at 6 pm with free gifts for the children.
The evening will also feature street entertainers, live music, a BBQ and much more. Craft and food producers (subject to demand) will also have the opportunity to sell their goods this year. And to block out those winter chills, some Fair Trade Hot Chocolate, in association with Castleisland Community College, will be served.
This event will be preceded by a Sensory Santa experience in association with NEWKD (contact the chamber for more info on the Sensory Santa).
If you’d like to find out more about setting up a craft and food stall for the event, contact Neil on 087 323 2493. Make December 6 a date forthediary.
