Ballina is set to sparkle this festive season as the much-loved Ballina Christmas Market returns on 12th, 13th & 14th December 2025! Organised by the voluntary “Let There Be Light” Committee, this eagerly anticipated event promises to bring festive magic, local crafts, food, music, and community cheer to the heart of the town.
Working in conjunction with Mayo County Council and local community groups, the committee has ambitious plans for a market bigger, brighter, and more festive than ever before. More details will be shared in the coming weeks, but organisers are already seeking support from the local community. To ensure the success of the event, the committee is putting out a call for volunteer electricians and junior electricians to lend a hand for just three hours this coming Sunday. Anyone able to assist is asked to contact the organisers directly via their @ChristmasBallina social channels.
Mairéad Melody, Manager of Mayo North Tourism, commented:
“I cannot emphasise enough how important it is for a town of Ballina’s size to host a Christmas market. It brings life, tourists, and business to the town. The committee are doing amazing work behind the scenes to make this possible, and I would encourage people to support their efforts in any way they can.”
The Ballina Christmas Market will feature a wide range of stalls celebrating local talent and festive fare. Arts and crafts retailers will offer handcrafted gifts, art, and unique items, while food retail stalls will showcase quality products for off-site enjoyment. Catering stalls will provide hot and cold food for visitors to enjoy on-site, creating a true festive atmosphere.
Whilst it is at the early stages, businesses and local producers interested in participating are invited to register their interest via email to [email protected] and secure a space at this festive celebration. This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase high-quality, locally made products to a diverse audience. From twinkling lights to local treats and crafts, the Ballina Christmas Market promises a magical celebration of community, craftsmanship, and festive entertainment.
