Festival of Lights information evening in Crossmolina

THE Crossmolina St. Patrick’s Festival of Lights weekend 2017 starts on the evening of March 17 with the Electric Light Parade, which will move through the town in a fabulous display of lights.

For any individual, business, school, community group, or residents' association that would like to get involved and take part in the parade, an information evening will be held upstairs in Sticks Bar, Crossmolina, this evening (Thursday, February 2) at 8 p.m.

There will be advice on what’s required to participate in the parade and how and where lights for floats can be obtained and purchased, etcetera.

It is hoped that as many people as possible will get involved and make this festival event a success. The parade is unique in that it is the first of its kind to be held in Ireland. Contact crossmolinafol@gmail.com or Sheila on (087) 9120680 or Anthony on (087) 6664818 for more information.
