It’s back… The Santa Christmas parade…

Next Sunday the 19th at 4pm starting at Clontarf Garda station.

The line up. Rudolf will be driving Santa in his new James Bond car being led by the two Cycling Without Age Trishaws with Dancer and Prancer piloting. Clearing the way and announcing Santa's arrival will be the Fabulous Irish Coastguards crew.

Also look out for the very loud Harley Davidson Club lads, (they are actually a bunch of softies !). The Cartoon Fire Engine 🚒 and the Cargo Bike crew will be blasting out their sounds.

Bringing up the rear is the monstrous Dublin Fire Truck in full sirens and lights and the Gardai will also be in attendance.

Get the streets filled with Christmas jumpers and cheer.

As it’s going to be dark, please ask the little folk to have their torches ready to shine on Santa!

It’s going to be a blast. Note that Santa must social distance too so won't have time to stop!!

Parade map attached ! 🎅🎅
