The holiday season begins at Crescent Shopping Centre with a series of festive events  for the whole family. Kicking off the season on Friday, November 22nd, at 5:00 pm, is the  magical Christmas Lights Switch-On. Irish Olympian Sharlene Mawdsley will be on  hand to light up the centre, joined by DJ Valerie Wheeler from Spin South West and  carol singers from Gaelscoil Sáirséal

Following this festive start, Black Friday on November 29th promises not only great  discounts across participating retailers but also a special fundraiser with St. Gabriel’s  Foundation. Therapist and experienced rower Kate Healy will attempt to set a world  record by rowing for 24 consecutive hours, starting at 11:00 am on Friday and  concluding at 11:00 am on Saturday, November 30th. This inspiring effort aims to raise  funds for an Innowalk device, which enables children in wheelchairs to experience  dynamic movement and participate in physical activity. 

The season’s festivities continue with the arrival of Santa Claus at 1:00 pm on Sunday,  December 1st, where he’ll greet families at the Garryowen Mall entrance before leading  a merry parade to his Grotto on City Mall. The Grotto theme for 2024 is “Santa’s Candy  Wonderland,” promising an enchanting experience for children and families alike.  

Ilovelimerick will be present to capture the joy of the season, with live music and  entertainment adding to the excitement. 

Adding to the holiday cheer, the famous Coca-Cola Truck will stop by Crescent  Shopping Centre on Sunday, December 8th, from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Positioned in the  City Mall Car Park (by Milanos), this classic Christmas attraction will make for a truly  magical afternoon. Visitors can also enjoy a stunning custom ‘Crescent’ mural at the  Garryowen Mall entrance, painted by local Limerick artist Patrick Hartnett. Be sure to  stop by and capture a photo with this unique artwork celebrating Crescent Shopping  Centre! Follow Patrick on social media to see more of his creations @peedge.art 

Visitors can take advantage of Crescent’s free parking, new high-speed E-car chargers,  and 12-screen cinema for a full day of shopping and entertainment. Crescent Gift  Cards are available at the information desk and can be used throughout most of the  centre’s stores, making for a perfect holiday gift.

Crescent Shopping Centre Manager, Brian O’Leary, expressed excitement, stating,  “We’re thrilled to bring back our traditional Christmas events at Crescent Shopping  Centre. We look forward to welcoming and celebrating with the local community.  Wishing everyone a joyful Christmas and a peaceful New Year.” 

Crescent Shopping Centre Marketing Manager, Eimear Dwan, added, “There’s so  much happening at Crescent this Christmas, and we’re eager to share the joy with  everyone who walks through our doors.”
