Santa’s Arrival 2025

On Sunday, November 23rd, Santa arrived by the RNLI lifeboat at the north quay at 11:30 am, he met with families as they welcomed him to Arklow. The atmosphere was electric on this bright winter morning.

Santa then travelled by horse and carriage to the centre, with the Grinch and Cindy Lou Who in tow.

The Grinch caused chaos in the centre, and Santa received a warm welcome as crowds counted down to the start of Christmas celebrations at Bridgewater. With confetti raining down from the stage. There was free face painting, candy canes handed out and music. The Arklow Makers Craft was in attendance, and lots of family fun to be had on the day!

Thank you to everyone who was in attendance on the day!
