The elves are busy preparing for the arrival of Santa at the 2022 Winterval festival, which will take place in Waterford for the 10th year from 18 November until 23 December.
Details
"Santa's Central Station" will land in in the middle of Waterford's Michael Street, surrounded by all of the other offerings and activities that Winterval has to offer. A band of merry elves will lead little ones to the door of Santa's magical cabin and families can meander through Santa's city centre installation, taking pictures with photo scenes along the way.
The festival organisers are planning a 10th birthday celebration with new yet-to-be-revealed special festival experiences in addition to the Waterford Illuminates, ice skating, the Winterval Cabin Market, live music gigs and more.
Tickets and additional details are available at Winterval.ie.
