Other elements of this year’s ‘Christmas In Limerick’ programme include ‘Limerick on Ice’ at Arthur’s Quay Park from late November, ‘Enchanted by Franc, a Medieval Christmas Experience at King John’s Castle’ in December, the Christmas Racing Festival at Limerick Racecourse, festive-themed illuminations, musical entertainment each Saturday, live music and comedy performances, Christmas carol concerts, pantos, kiddies workshops, theatre, and festive food events such as the annual Christmas Markets.

 Mary Hayes, economic development officer with Limerick City and County Council, said: “While we are keen to create a festive and welcoming atmosphere throughout the city during the coming weeks, we are also committed to helping businesses, individuals and local community groups in their efforts to host and promote Christmas-themed activities and promotions.”

“The Christmas In Limerick website is for individuals, groups and businesses large and small to publish their broad ranging activities, events and goods for all to find and partake in. So, if you are Limerick based and are preparing a treat, selling a feast, celebrating mass or just plain partying, we would ask you to sign in to Limerick.ie/christmas and promote it,” added Ms. Hayes.
