To kick off the festive season, the Malahide Santa Parade took place on Sunday 26th November and the jolly man in red made this year's event a sustainable green one. Organised by the Malahide Chamber, all local businesses and community groups in the area were asked to get involved, with Fingal County Council encouraged participants to be carbon neutral as they make their way along the route down New Street to The Green.

Everybody iwas welcome to come along and enjoy festivities, with music filling the air on New Street from 3.30pm on Sunday 26th November to await Santa’s arrival at 4pm. 

President of Malahide Chamber Andrew Rittweger said: “Malahide Chamber of Commerce is delighted to welcome back Santa to the village of Malahide with support from Fingal County Council, to highlight the shopping opportunities in Malahide for gifts this Christmas from all our retail stores and our wonderful restaurants, cafés and superb service providers. We hope to have many local participants as possible as this is a fantastic opportunity for Malahide to come together to not only celebrate, but to showcase what our fantastic town has to offer.”
