Midlands Town Going Back To The 80s To Fund New Christmas Lights

Friday, 11 August 2023 10:40

It will take place on the 19th August.

A Laois festival committee will be going back to the 80's in a bid to raise funds for new Christmas lights in the town.

Eddie Kirwan's marquee in Mountrath will host an 80's Hawaii disco on Saturday 19th August, beginning at 9pm. 

The Committee is headed by local Cllr James Kelly who says:

"We were delighted with the response we received last year, the whole community came out to support us. It takes a lot of money to upgrade and keep our Christmas Lights every year and we have plans for new lights in new locations but we can't do it without our community continuous support."

It is a ticketed event, tickets cost €15 and are available in Centra and Spar in Mountrath.

There will also be with a raffle on the night.

Julie Bennett PRO said:

'What could be a better way to raise funds for our Christmas Lights then to have a Hawaiian inspired 80s disco. Hawaii Five-0 meets Mountrath. Organising events like these are hugely important, not only do the raise vital funds but they bring our community together."
