Christmas Streets & Treats for all in Athy

Christmas Streets & Treats for all in Athy

The BIG SWITCH EVENT this Saturday at 6pm...

The Athy Town Promoters Group* is urging everyone in Athy and surrounding areas to shop local this Christmas.

Every euro spent in Athy over the festive period helps to keep people employed locally and to keep our shops open.

Athy's unique range of local & boutique shops are pulling out all the stops to provide both better choice and value in Athy meaning you don't have to travel far to stock up on Christmas gifts. 

There will be a hive of festive activities around the town, with Santa and festive friends visiting at 6pm this Saturday, 30th November at the 'Big Switch Event'. 

For details of the full calendar of festival & events taking place over the festive season, please check www.athy.ie for details. 

The Town Council has agreed changes to pay parking leading up to Christmas with Free Parking** from 11 am each day (Monday to Friday) starting on Monday, 16th December in designated car parks and free throughout the town each Saturday/ Sunday at all locations year-round, which will make it even more attractive to shop local. 

Did you know shopping local supports local employment, with great value, while you are helping your own community towards prosperity in the future. We would like to thank all who shop in Athy for your continued support.
