Location: Kilkenny City
Santa’s City Cycle is taking to the streets of Kilkenny this festive season! Join Santa on his spin around the town before he turns on the Christmas Lights launching Yulefest Kilkenny 2025! This year there is an added social cycle, a gentle spin around Kilkenny from 1pm – 2pm. At 2pm everyone will gather at Canal Square. Here you can watch as Santa arrives into Kilkenny by boat up the River Nore. Once Santa is off the River, he will board his very special bike to take off on a lap of Kilkenny city. The Santa City Cycle will start between 2.30pm – 2.45pm with participants to be at Canal Square from 2pm. Everyone taking part is encouraged to bling your bikes and dress festively. Registration for Santa’s City Cycle is required. Booking link coming soon! There will be a limited number of specialised Ireland City E-Bikes available on the day, with registration for these beginning at 12noon on The Parade, outside the Castle. Santa’s City Cycle is part of a whole day of activity launching Yulefest Kilkenny 2025! Find out more about what you can look forward to here . Thanks to KRSP for providing the Cycle With Outage bike for this special occasion.
