YES, yes, we know Halloween isn’t over yet, but Christmas is only eight weeks away and people are already getting ready for it.

The Tralee Chamber Alliance realises this and put up a Facebook post earlier today that they plan on putting on a Christmas market from Thursday, December 17 to Wednesday, December 23, to showcase Tralee as a Winter Wonderland as part of the Christmas Spraoi programme.

Don’t worry, the market in the Square won’t be full of cheap toys and plastic tat though. The Chamber says the market is available to local food producers and local craft makers with the prerequisite that if you haven’t made it, you can’t sell it.
