Limerick is getting ready to shine this festive season as the city prepares to celebrate Christmas in Limerick 2025 under the heartwarming theme Together for Christmas in Limerick.
The theme captures the true spirit of the season, one of unity, belonging, goodwill, and renewal. It reflects families and friends coming home, communities working hand-in-hand, and visitors joining locals to experience the magic of Christmas in Ireland’s most vibrant riverside city.
Light Up Limerick Procession
Limerick City and County Council’s festive display of Christmas lights in the city will be revealed as part of an Illuminated procession on November 22nd. LUXe Theatre Company’s enchanting parade will light up the city as it travels from the Crescent, O’Connell Street towards Merchant’s Quay, brightening the night with a twinkling winter wonderland. Expect an exciting, visual spectacle that truly kicks off the Christmas season in style!
A Season Full of Festive Magic
Beyond the lights, the city will come alive with festive cheer, including Limerick on Ice at Arthur’s Quay Park, Christmas at the Milk Market with a Santa Experience, Children’s Art Projections illuminating the city centre, and animation and decoration of public spaces.
The official launch of the full Christmas in Limerick 2025 – Together for Christmas in Limerick programme will take place on Tuesday, November 18th.
You will also find details of other events being organised across Limerick city and county for the festive period by groups, communities, businesses and individuals at Limerick.ie/Christmas.
