New Ross Christmas Festival

Each year, New Ross boasts a spectacular weekend of Christmas fun.

Held annually on the first weekend of December, this Christmas celebration begins with hundreds of people gathering at the heart of New Ross joining in the countdown for the lighting of our festival tree. After a wonderful dinner at our local Legion, we gather at the centre of the village, joining in carolling, and sipping hot chocolate awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus via a firetruck.  From there, Celebration on the Hill attracts visitors to traverse one of our beloved trails, arriving at the summit where they can celebrate with more songs, food, and stunning views of our quaint village.

Following is a weekend of craft fairs, home cooked meals, carollers, visits to Twig’s chalet, local artisans, Christmas tree U-picks, and children’s activities, topped off with magical entertainment, wonderful singers, and dancing the night away. It’s a time to gather with family and friends and spend a down-home Christmas in the country.
