IT’S the final weekend before Christmas so Tralee is pretty much party central at the moment.
The pubs, hotels and restaurants were all hosting get-togethers at the weekend, while the Abbey Inn also had a visit during the afternoon from Santa for a children’s party to see if they were being good (it’s probably for the best he didn’t head down town later that night. A lot of people wouldn’t be getting presents!).
Continued below…
We brought our cameras to a few venues to capture the party atmosphere. It was especially festive in the Fels Point Hotel where members from the Kerry Choral Union sang carols in the foyer before their Christmas party.
We captured them singing one of the carols in a video below.
