WELL done to all involved in bringing a festive atmosphere to the town again over the past weekend.

There was a big crowd at a special concert at the Island Of Geese on Saturday evening. ‘The Sounds of Christmas’ was organised by Tralee Chamber in partnership with Kerry County Council.

The musicians and singers delivered a delightful blend of timeless Christmas classics and contemporary festive tunes t0 those present.

Hosted by Elaine Kinsella, it featured Catriona O’Sullivan, the Music Generation Kerry Wind Ensemble, Róisín Hussey, Clodagh Harrington, Ciara Murphy, Saoirse Murphy on the flute, Sharon Lynch, Alan Teahan, Mike & David Lynch and more.

Sunday saw the rain arrive, so it didn’t make for ideal conditions for Santa’s parade! However, it went ahead and people showed up for the spectacle of Santa, elves, Disney characters and much more make their way through town.

Well done to Sean Murphy Electrical and local businesses for putting on the parade and bringing festive cheer in the rain.
