Donaghadee Christmas Events

FRIDAY 1st DECEMBER

Hello Santa!!!!

The harbour will be the venue for an exciting evening starting at 5.30pm with a disco on the pier.  At around 6.30pm we expect Santa to be brought in by the RNLI on the lifeboat and our thanks to them for providing this much needed transport. After being greeted by the Mayor, Santa will be escorted by the Rotary Club of Donaghadee, the Harbour Star Band and the Una Breslin School of Irish Dancing to his grotto at the Market.  Children are invited to join the parade in fancy dress should they wish.  Once settled in his grotto, Santa will have a small gift for every child who calls.
