The Parade will be a beehive of activity during Yulefest
As it was such a hit last year, the Yulefest Bandstand is back for 2022.
Come along to the Parade on Saturday, November 26 from 2pm to enjoy the festive atmosphere at the market and listen to live music. Make a day of it and grab lunch and a coffee and listen to each band, choir and solo singer.
The Yulefest Bandstand brings top names and local talent to entertain festival audiences for free. Soak up the atmosphere on the Parade and pick up a present or two as you enjoy live music. There will be performances on the Bandstand each weekend from November 26 and throughout Christmas week. Check out the full schedule on YulefestKilkenny.ie.
Yulefest performances are kindly supported by The Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media through the Live Local Performance Programming Scheme, the Kilkenny Arts Office and Kilkenny County Council.
