Raphoe's Community Christmas Celebrations starts on Friday with beautiful music from the Finn Valley Mens Choir and Christy Murray and his band of merry pipers. Santa will be led into the Diamond by the Ulster Scots Pipe band and this will be a great opportunity for a visit with Santa and a free gift and photo opportunity for every boy and girl.

Saturday will see the opening of our Christmas Market at 11am, with some fantastic stalls offering traditional bakes, homemade crafts, Christmas wreaths, personalised gifts, hot chocolate, mulled wine, something for everyone with some amazing local performers/entertainers on both days. Everyone Welcome.
