Christmas in Cobh begins on Sunday 25th November with an afternoon of Christmas Cheer followed by the switching on of the Cobh Christmas Lights.
From 2pm to 4.30pm Santa Claus will greet children in the Jack Doyle Suite of the Commodore Hotel, have a short chat with them and pose for photographs. Professional photographs may be purchased from Cork Photography & Photobooth Hire or people may take their own photos if they wish.
Elf Ken’s Christmas village, Free Arts and Crafts activities with Glorious Arts and Crafts, Face Painting and storytelling will also keep children entertained in the Commodore Hotel.
From 4.15 pm complimentary Hot Chocolate will be available in the town centre for children with a voucher available during the activities in the Commodore Hotel.
The children’s torch lit procession has become a huge favourite in the build up to the switching on of the Christmas Lights. This year the parade will leave from Cobh Heritage Centre at 4.50 pm and will travel along the town to the Christmas tree where the lights will be switched on by one lucky child. This child will be the winner of an art competition organised by Cobh and Harbour Chamber.
The whole afternoon’s activities are a coming together of community and businesses to show Cobh at its best. The Christmas Lights are erected by Cobh and Harbour Chamber with support from the Cobh Municipal District. This is the 11th year that See You in Cobh are organising a Christmas in Cobh event to coincide with the switching on of the Cobh Christmas Lights and these events are also supported by Cork County Council.
Please come along and be a part of this fantastic festive Community event in the centre of Cobh.
