Christmas Season
In Carndonagh we consider the Christmas season as special. Festivi-ties commence with the erection of a large tree in the Diamond on the first Sunday of December. Santa makes a special appearance and the crib with live animals is worth seeing. Ring in the new year around the Christmas tree with people from all over the peninsula.
