IT was cold but, essentially, dry on The Mall yesterday as the annual CH parade drew hundreds to the street again.
An annual staple of the festive calendar, the parade, along with the switching on of the Christmas lights, officially starts Christmas in Tralee.
Santa and Mrs Claus were joined by a host of characters while Rose of Tralee Jennifer Byrne took pride of place in the parade.
Afterwards everyone posed for photos in the Square before Santa and Jennifer officially opened Santaland at CH Chemists.
There was a wonderful family atmosphere in town all day so well done to everyone who organised it. Scroll down for photos…
