Galway Christmas Market
The magic returns to Eyre Square this winter as Galway’s Christmas Market celebrates its 15th year. From the twinkling lights to the festive aromas, it’s set to be one of the most enchanting events of the season.
Step into the heart of the city and enjoy all the highlights: a spectacular 32-metre-high Big Wheel, a traditional carousel, Santa’s Express Train, and the ever-popular Santa’s Grotto, with local charities helping to spread the festive cheer. Stroll through the enchanted light gardens, stop by Santa’s Postbox, and soak up the sounds of live choirs filling the air.
No Christmas Market visit is complete without indulgent festive food. Treat yourself to sizzling bratwursts, sweet crêpes and waffles, French pastries, pretzels, and more. Then warm up with a stein in the Beer Tent or sip a classic Irish Coffee.
For Christmas shopping, the market is a treasure trove of artisan foods, handcrafted gifts, and seasonal treats from local and European traders.
After a day of festive fun, relax at the Harbour Hotel, just moments from Eyre Square. Our special package includes an overnight stay, the chance to take in the sparkling city views from the Big Wheel, and a hearty breakfast the next morning—perfect for ending your Christmas trip on a high note.
