Thurles Christmas lights will be officially switched on at 6:00pm sharp, on Friday evening next, December 6th 2024.
The lighting ceremony will take place in the centre of Liberty Square, with staged live music; same starting at 5:30pm, and continuing until 7:00pm.
Santa will be also in Thurles on Friday December 6th, in Thurles Tourist office (on Slievenamon Road).
We hear also that a Santa Grotto will be open at the above stated Tourist Office in the town, beginning each Saturday; starting from December 7th, and operating between the hours of 2:00pm and 4:00pm.
(Kids, don’t you worry about the lack of parking on Liberty Square, in Thurles; Santa always parks on the roof.)
Parents Do Note: A small appearance fee (€3.00) will be charged for this Santa Grotto service, to all children attending, (obviously to cover the cost of feeding carrots to Santa’s reindeer).
