A Christmas Celebration on the Grand Parade
A Christmas Celebration on the Grand Parade sees Bishop Lucey Park being magically lit as "The Park of Dreams" , designed by Peter Kelly (Franc) of Weddings by Franc, and the Grand Parade transformed into a wonderful haven of locally produced food and crafts.
All sorts of fare will be on sale from spit roasts to hot chocolate, festive preserves to mince pies as well as a fantastic range of arts and crafts. There will also be singing from a wide range of choirs and carol singers, and music from some of Cork's most famous bands.
