Christmas artisan markets, choral and street trad music, children’s entertainment, street radio, a Christmas window display competition, an appearance by Liam McCarthy, and a Santa Train rolling through the town centre are amongst the highlights of this year’s Christmas in Ennis programme.
Festivities get underway on Thursday when Santa Claus comes to town for the switching of the Christmas Lights with live music from the Circus Ponies and Vocal Ponies, and a special guest appearance by All-Ireland winning Clare hurling captain Tony Kelly and manager Brian Lohan with Liam MacCarthy in tow.
Pictured are friends Brianna McCauley (8) and Alannah Cording (9) from Ennis.

The staff at each of the centres were treated to a variety of home-cooked goodies as a thank you for all the hard work and the residents receive a small gift from the Craft and Gift store at the Cliffs.&#13; &#13;Children and staff from both schools will be treated to a day out at the Cliffs of Moher Experience in 2024.&#13;Pictured are children from Lisdoonvarna Primary School, Evie O'Gorman, Arwen Gavin and Darragh Cronin with resident  Betty Whyte, Spanish Point.&#13;Picture Arthur Ellis</image:caption></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000.twytzFDQ_w</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000.twytzFDQ_w/fit=1000x1000/KilrushVEireOg033.jpg</image:loc><image:title>SFC Kilrush v Eire Og at Miltown</image:title><image:caption>Rory Cussen</image:caption></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000IMoefm3R5Fw</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000IMoefm3R5Fw/fit=1000x1000/Katerina-Nichoga-20230221-006.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Ukrainian Volunteer Katerina Nichoga</image:title><image:caption>Happy To Help Out...Ukrainian Katerina Nichoga, from Lviv, who volunteers at Clare Haven Horizon, on the Gort Road in Ennis.
