HUNDREDS of people lined the streets of Tralee on a chilly December afternoon as the Christmas parade returned to the streets of the town on Saturday.
The event was organised by Tralee Chamber and Kerry County Council, in partnership with Sean Murphy Electrical and the local business community, ‘Santa’s Magical Fairytale Parade’ proved a big hit with families
Winding its way through Pembroke Street, down Rock Street, Russell Street and along The Mall, it featured fairytale characters, floats, dancers, the Snow King and Queen, Disney Fairytale Princesses, Dancing Toy Soldiers, Fairy Twinkle, Elf companions, the whimsical Gingerbread Man, Giant Polar Bears and, of course, Santa Claus himself.

There was also free treats distributed along the parade route and families had a chance to meet all the participants in the Square afterwards to take pictures.
The good news is the parade will be back again on Sunday, December 17, to recreate that very special atmosphere in town. Scroll down for photos…
