Businesses and community groups in Dingle have put together a packed calendar of events this Christmas and New Year's period to attract people to the area.
Community organiser Richie Williams says they decided to offer a full programme because two weekends fall during the holidays.
These events are on top of a range of Christmas Day swims around the Dingle peninsula and the world famous Lá an Dreoilín on St Stephen's Day.
