CH Tralee has announced their annual Christmas Parade on the streets of Tralee and their Santaland experience instore, have once again been cancelled this year.

The parade traditionally signals the official beginning of the festive season in town and is enjoyed by hundreds of people who line the streets in the town centre. CH Tralee broke the news on its social media pages on Friday evening.

“The entire CH team needs to work well in advance to make this magical time of the year really special,” read the post on Facebook from Peter and Claire Harty and all the CH team.

“That is why we have at this time decided that in the interest of public safety we will once again rest our street parade and grotto.”

“Our community has worked tirelessly to protect each other for such a long time and CH remains steadfast in supporting the effort to protect everyone from this virus. While we acknowledge that people will be disappointed, it is important that everyone can stay safe and enjoy Christmas at home with their loved ones.”

Christmas will be celebrated at CH this year as we once again pay tribute to the community that has supported us for over fifty years. CH will again select three local charities to support this festive season. Our own wish this year is that Christmas will be truly special for you and yours.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you kindly for your support and we look forward to welcoming you in-store in the future,” concludes the post.

IT’S only six weeks away and excitement is already building for the annual CH Tralee Christmas parade.

It’s an event which is seen as the official start of the Christmas in the town and hundreds line the route where Santa and Mrs Claus, along with many familiar characters, arrive on floats to The Mall.

There’ll be balloons, music and much more from 2pm on Saturday, November 24, with Rose of Tralee, Kirsten Mate Maher also taking part in the fun.

Then Santa arrives at CH Chemists where he’ll be in residence at Santaland until Christmas Eve. Experience the wonders of Santaland and help Alice on her way through the enchanted forest.

Find the clues that will lead through this magical journey all the way to Santas log cabin. This seasonal fantasy is a must for children of all ages this Christmas. An opportunity for that special photo with the man himself “Santa” and of course, a gift for all the good children. Better hurry though, because places are filling up fast so click here to see what dates are available.

Also that evening at 5pm will see the turning on of the Christmas lights in the Square and the Rose of Tralee will be on hand to light up the town with Mayor of Tralee, Cllr Graham Spring.

It’s a wonderful event so mark Saturday, November 24 in the diary and bring the family for a real festive atmosphere in Tralee thanks to the folks at CH.
