Experience the magic of Christmas at Frostival Winter Festival on Friday 22nd & Saturday 23rd of November marking the start of the festive season in Dundalk Town Centre.
The BIG attraction at this year’s festival is the Carnival of Light parade – the procession will be like a winter fairy tale come to life with the Nutcracker prince spinning fire, a flying fairground horse, troupe of Dancing Christmas Stars performed by Funky Feet, the Sugar plum fairy, giant snowflakes, huge golden baubles light up the street, Rudolph prances and dances, a Snowman cycles in a sparkling snowstorm and Santa is high above the crowd on his magic bicycle!
Departing from the Longwalk Shopping Centre at 7pm and weaving it’s way through the streets, illuminating the town centre on it’s magical Christmas Journey:
Parade Route: Longwalk SC | Church Street | Clanbrassil Street | Crowe Street | Francis Street | Park Street | Magnet Road | Longwalk SC
As part of the festive programme of events we will also be hosting Dundalk Christmas Market, Little Elves Fun Zone, Santa’s Grotto, Frostival Express Train and a Family Treasure Hunt at Market Square.
