Arriving tomorrow, Saturday 23 at Whitewater SC, for 2pm
The festive season really kicks off at 12pm tomorrow, 23 November at Whitewater Shopping Centre with Santa, music and face painting in Whitewater!
Santa and Mrs Claus will travel in a horse-drawn carriage, with the Patrician Band accompanying them from the garda station on main street, Newbrdige at approximately 1.30pm, to arrive at Whitewater Shopping Centre for 2pm.
Santa and the band will then parade through the popular centre — with snow canons a-plenty and lots of festive decor and cheer! Local gardaí will assist with traffic management before Santa is met by a band of drummers in the popular Newbridge centre where he and Mrs Claus will make their way on a silver sleigh to the grotto in the Sports Lounge.
Facepainting at Whitewater tomorrow for kiddies
