TREATY CITY Brewery has announced their biggest outdoor Limerick Christmas Fair, calling out to other local vendors to take part.
This event is set to take place on December 20 and 21 on the historical Nicholas Street.
With road closures transforming Nicholas Street into a pedestrian-friendly Christmas market, the festival is the perfect opportunity for local craftspeople, makers, and independent vendors to showcase their talents.

The event is set to take place on December 20 and 21 from 2 pm to 9 pm on Saturday and 2 pm to 8 pm on Sunday.
Treaty City Brewery owner Steve Cunneen says the festival hopes to showcase the best of Limerick.
He said, " We are going to have a market both days. We're looking for small batch artisan producers based in the community to showcase the best of what Limerick has to offer. It's a fantastic street, and so we're gonna have a really good, fun time and some Xmas cheer!"
As well as the market, the fair will shine a light on the local musical talent from the northside of Limerick.
The musical highlight comes on Saturday evening when Hazey Haze is to perform at 7 pm, debuting his new album live on Nicholas Street.
Across both days, the fair will feature outdoor live music, festive treats, and the brewery’s signature mulled Sarsfield Stout, and Christmas toasties.
King John’s Castle is also adding to the fair, offering 25% off family packages for the month of December.
Ruth Vaughan of King John's Castle said: " We're delighted to support Steve with the Treaty Xmas Fair, we are in the most historic street in Limerick. King John's Castle is the jewel in the crown. We're Steve's neighbour, so we're delighted to collaborate and support Steve on this fantastic initiative!”
There is no cost for a stall, and vendors keep 100% of their earnings for the entire weekend.
