It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and Killarney will this year further enhance its fully deserved reputation as the most spectacular festive season town in the entire country.

.

Extra spectacular Christmas Magic street parades, magnificent street lights and decorations, a really unique Santa’s Grotto experience at a very special and magical location, sensational shopping and all the fun of the season of goodwill will ensure Ireland’s tidiest large town will also become the country’s Christmas capital for 2023.
The incredible hour-long Christmas Magic parades, with Disney-style floats and characters and, of course, Santa Claus himself, will wind their way through the packed
streets with the first parade and the switching on of the street lights by Mayor of Killarney, Cllr Brendan Cronin, taking place this Saturday night, November 25.
The parade will commence at 6.00pm from Lewis Road and it will pass through College Street, Plunkett Street, Main Street and High Street.
Further parades are planned for December 2, 9 and 16 and what promises to be an emotion-charged and charming added attraction this year will be the gala festive Welcome Home Parade at 7.00pm on Friday, December 22 with a very special greeting lined up for those returning to Killarney for Christmas from wherever they are in the world.
In addition, on December 23, there will be a special welcome home get-together in the newly opened Pig’s Lane which is located beneath the well-trodden streets of Killarney.
There is no place quite like home, particularly at Christmastime, and everybody from Killarney knows that only too well.
This colourful, feel-good celebration showcases Killarney in a truly magnificent light and the parades attract people from all over the country and beyond.
If you haven’t been in Killarney for a Magic Parade at Christmas, you really don’t know what you’re missing.
