THE Rose of Tralee called in to CH Chemists on Saturday to help launch their Christmas Parade.

The streets of Tralee will be filled with music and fun as Christmas floats and specials guests along with Darth Vader, Princess Sophia, Minions and Frozen characters  lead Santa in this festive celebration next Saturday.

The parade route will travel down Rock Street, Bridge Street and The Mall and the top of Denny Street.

Santa and Mrs Claus and their friends will meet everyone at The Square before they officially open “Santa Land” at C.H.

It’s a spectacle capturing the magic of Christmas for children of all ages so wear your Christmas jumper or your favourite character costume welcome Santa to Tralee next Saturday.

Of course Santa takes up residence in CH from next Saturday where children, upon arrival at the Ice Castle, meet Elfie Elf who will magically transport them to Santa Land.

Along the way they’ll wake The Ice Princess who’ll guide them through the enchanted  Ice Forest to reach Santa’s House.

There’ll be a gift waiting for children when they get to Santa…along with a unique photo of their visit. Santaland is open from 4pm next Saturday.
