Dun Laoghaire is kicking off the Christmas season with a festive parade featuring Santa Claus, starting at the end of Marine Road (County Hall) at 12.00 noon, where he will be joined by his magical entourage of elves and other characters as he makes his way through the town. To capture all the excitement, Andriú de Paor and Taran O’Sullivan from 2FM will be broadcasting their show live from the 2FM Roadcaster in Myrtle Square from 12 to 3pm.

Councillor Jim O’Leary, Cathaoirleach of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, will lead Santa through the town in a magnificent train, making a stop at Myrtle Square where children and parents can greet Santa and enjoy a Christmas entertainment show on a special stage. After the show, Santa will continue on to the National Maritime Museum, where he will be available for visits until December. Don’t forget to visit Santa’s Grotto and use the express post box to send your letters to the North Pole!

This event is proudly supported by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and organised by the Dún Laoghaire Business Association. Join us for a day of joy and holiday cheer in Dún Laoghaire
