Thousands of people turned out at the weekend for the launch of the Frostival Winter Festival, which saw Dundalk into a wonderland of festive family fun and dazzling light installations. Organised by Dundalk BIDs and proudly sponsored by Dundalk Credit Union, Louth County Council and associate sponsor Dundalk Chamber, two show stopping events took place in the town on Saturday and Sunday.
A Christmas Tree Switch-On, the likes of which Ireland has never seen before, took place on Saturday at Earl Street, with Ireland’s tallest Town Centre Christmas Tree taking pride of place, followed a by a sequence of iconic Northern Lights Shows live at Market Square.
On Sunday the famous Carnival of Light Parade took place, starting from The Green Church. The Carnival transformed the town centre into a Christmas fairytale featuring vibrant floats, performers, and glowing costumes as it wound through the streets. Throughout the weekend the town centre was buzzing with activity from morning until evening, at the family fun zones; the Frostival Fayre, with its delicious hot food and seasonal gifts; and the Frostival Ferris Wheel at Roden Place.
