Christmas lights switched on in Naas tomorrow as Santa arrives

Santa is coming to Naas Town Hall tomorrow at around 1pm - and the Christmas lights will be officially switched on at 5pm.

Santa will be awarding those children that have been good all year with a little something special in his fantastic Grotto and with the help of his little elves.

There will be fantastic street entertainment on the streets of Naas all day, thanks to members of the Moat Theatre and there will also be very special guests.

There will be festive Christmas market stalls in the Town Hall as well as in Poplar Square and the Courthouse.

The highlight of the day will be the turning on of the Christmas lights at around 5pm by the Mayor.

The organising committee is made up of Carol Walsh, Cllr Anne Breen, Catherine Whelan, Cllr  Fintan Bret, Kim Kelleher and Rioghnagh Bracken.

Committee member Rioghnagh Bracken said; "We expect it to be a fantastic day with plenty of music and fun and of behalf of the committee I would like to thanks Naas Gardai, the Moat Theatre, Naas CBS, Naas Red Cross, all the traders in Naas who donated to assist in this event and of course SANTA."
