Mary McGettigan from Donegal Town Community Chamber said: “Get wrapped up well, come along and join us as the Community prepares for the most magical time of the year with a special appearance by The Donegal Abbey Singers with some festive melodies.
“Of course, Santa would love to see all the boys and girls of the area coming out to give him a great big Donegal welcome as he arrives on the Diamond!
“I don’t think he will be checking who is naughty or nice!”
The Directors of Donegal Town Community Chamber CLG would like to take this opportunity to thank Contractors Ferm Eng Ltd, James, and all their hardworking team for the erection of this year’s Christmas Lights Display, as well as the elected Members, Roads Engineer Mark Sweeney and The Once off Christmas Support Allocation Donegal County Council.
