Killlaloe/Ballina Christmas Lights To Be Turned On This Evening

Killaloe is set to become the latest town to embrace the festive spirit with the lighting of its Christmas tree this evening. The first joint Christmas lights ceremony between Killaloe and Ballina will get underway from 5:15pm on the Old Killaloe - Ballina Bridge with the tree lighting taking place from 6pm. The local youth choir will provide the backdrop with Christmas carols, while Santa and his elves are set to make a special appearance. Killaloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Tony O’Brien, is hopeful the event will draw a big crowd to kickstart a new tradition for both towns.
