Christmas in Cobh will officially start when Santa arrives in Cobh on Saturday 1st December.
Santa and his helpers will arrive in a parade of vintage vehicles from the Holy Ground to the Town Centre at 12 noon. They will stop briefly at the Old Town Hall before traveling along the town to his new Grotto in Cobh Heritage Centre. Here he will greet children from 12.15pm to 5.00pm. Visits to Santa, including a parcel will cost €5. A photographer will also be on hand to capture the special moments.
Throughout the afternoon there will be festive music and song in the town as Katie McGroarty and Animal Rescue Cobh(ARC) perform Christmas favourites as a part of their Christmas fundraising campaign. At 5.00pm Santa will join in the Children’s Torch Lit Procession from Cobh Heritage Centre to the Christmas Tree. Children are encouraged to dress all Christmassy and to bring a torch, glow stick or a night light in a jam jar. The Switching on of the Christmas lights will take place at 5.15pm, with Cobh Confraternity Band adding to the festive atmosphere.
