From twinkling lights to Santa’s Postbox, charming Christmas cabins and toy-soldier bollards lining the streets, Christmas in Killarney takes on a storybook glow, creating a magical backdrop for families, couples and visitors of all ages.
Enjoy Santa’s grotto, Dine in Killarney, Killarney on Ice, Christmas Markets, live concerts, musicals and comedy gigs and family attractions, alongside with Ireland’s only weekly Christmas Magic Parades.
