Dungarvan lights up for Christmas!

Santa visited Dungarvan to switch on the Christmas lights over the weekend.

Dungarvan Shopping Centre, in partnership with Waterford City and County Council, arranged a series of festive activities leading up to the main celebration.

Santa was escorted to Grattan Square by Waterford Fire Service on a fire tender, festively accompanied by the Only Fools on Scooters Scooter Club and then proceeded to Dungarvan Shopping Centre, on foot, to switch on the festive lighting.

Santa was 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."

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.”
