This family-friendly event kicks off at 11.45am, featuring a ceremonial tree lighting with joyful carol performances by pupils from The Good Shepherd National School and Ballinteer Montessori School. The gathering celebrates the festive season and DLR West Business Association’s dedication to giving back and fostering community spirit through meaningful events that bring together people of all ages.

We believe strong communities create strong businesses,” said Ciarán Kenny, CEO at DLR West Business Association. “Our aim is to offer more than business networking, we want to be a hub for community growth, collaboration and shared success.”
