Headford and District Association has announced a festive weekend of community events taking place on December5 and December 7. These activities mark the start of the Christmas season in Headford and are made possible through ongoing support from Galway County Council and the many local businesses who help light up the town each year. HADA is run entirely by volunteers in the community for the benefit of the community and surrounding areas, and their work continues thanks to this vital support.
On Thursday 5 December, the Christmas lights will be switched on at 6.30 pm in St George’s Square. The ceremony will be led by Aadya Srivastava, who proudly represented Ireland at Miss Universe this year. The evening will include music, festive cheer and a gathering for all ages as the community comes together to welcome the start of the holiday season.
On Sunday 7 December, Santa will visit Headford Hall for a full day of family activities. The event will feature a quiet hour for those with sensory requirements, Christmas crafting for children and a dog friendly hour with Santa to finish the day, ensuring that every family member can take part.
Full details and updates on both events can be found on the Headford and District Association Facebook and Instagram pages.
