TRALEE Chamber in partnership with Kerry County Council is delighted to announce the return of the ‘Christmas Parade’ in partnership with Sean Murphy Electrical and the local business community to its Christmas in Tralee Festive Programme.

Two parades will take place in December — from 2pm this Saturday, December 2nd, and on Sunday, December 17th at the same time.

As the festive spirit takes centre stage in Tralee, ‘Santa’s Magical Fairytale Parade’ will wind its way through Pembroke Street, down Rock Street, Russell Street, along The Mall and culminate in a festive celebration in The Square.
