Féile Grianstad returns to Dungarvan
On Saturday December 21st, Féile Grianstad, a fun-filled, festive evening featuring Santa, music and fireworks, returns to Dungarvan.
The festivities kick-off on Saturday evening at 6pm with a series of ceolchoirmeacha agus craic featuring Dungarvan’s own Loungeroom Lizards, trad craic and much more!
Watch out for Santa Claus, his naughty nemesis Krampus may also make an appearance and you never know who else may turn up at the party. At 9pm, there will be a very special sky light extravaganza with a firework spectacular above Dungarvan Harbour.
This year, Grattan Square will be partially closed off from lunchtime on Saturday, December 21st to facilitate the ‘Big Stage’.
For those travelling to Dungarvan, motorists are requested to park outside the town and walk to the town centre. Immediately prior to the fireworks display, Davitt’s Quay will be closed to all traffic to facilitate the safe passage of pedestrians and viewers.
The long-term plans for the festival will see a vibrant mix of community arts and entertainment that will animate and illuminate the shortest days and the longest nights with fun, traditional hearty food, song, storytelling, and winter warmth.
Féile Grianstad is an initiative of Waterford City and County Council and volunteers from Dungarvan’s hospitality and business community, with assistance from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts Gaeltacht, Sport & Media for the stage and sound and lighting.
