Christmas lights in Dungarvan being switched on this weekend!

Santa will visit Dungarvan Shopping Centre to switch on the Christmas lights on Sunday, November 24, at 5pm.

Santa will be escorted to Grattan Square by Waterford Fire Service on a fire tender, festively accompanied by the Waterford Kickstart Scooter Club at 4pm and will then proceed to Dungarvan Shopping Centre, on foot, to switch on the festive lighting at 5pm.

Santa will be joined by Cathaoirleach of Dungarvan / Lismore District Cllr. Pat Nugent in lighting up Dungarvan. 

Cllr. Nugent said: "Dungarvan is a wonderful town, and it's even more magical at Christmas. I'm delighted to be working with the Big Man himself in turning on the festive lighting in Dungarvan.

"We would encourage everyone, young and old, to come along and enjoy the festivities with family and friends and make new memories. It's also the perfect opportunity to support our great array of local retailers, restaurants and cafes by shopping local."

Gerry O’Connor, Manager of Dungarvan Shopping Centre, added, “We’re thrilled once again to partner with Waterford City and County Council to bring a festive glow to Dungarvan this season.

"We like to think we've created a tradition that puts the spotlight on Dungarvan and really highlights the great atmosphere and spirit of the town. Dungarvan is a gem, but it always shines a little brighter at Christmas."
