Estuary Rollers Christmas Tractor and Truck Run attracts spectators galore and why wouldn’t it? It is a fabulous and seasonal spectacle that brings joy and fun to everyone who witnesses the wonderful colour and fantastic goodwill that this spirited event means to so many people in North Kerry and West Limerick. This year the committee at Estuary Rollers have selected the Nano Nagle School Listowel, Milford Hospice Limerick and St Gabriel’s Foundation Limerick as their chosen charities.
Estuary Rollers is proud to present this great Christmas spectacle. This year we are delighted to announce a new addition which includes the participation of trucks. We have no doubt that this will add to the event. You simply won’t want to miss it. So, when should you have your eyes peeled watching out for it to arrive?
On Sunday afternoon, December 8, 2024, beginning at 4pm at the Listowel Mart, the parade of tractors and trucks, bedecked in Christmas lights and tinsel, will travel through the town of Listowel, Knockanure and continue through to the village of Moyvane. From there the wonderful entourage will head for the village of Tarbert and then onwards to the village of Glin. The bedecked and beautifully prepared tractors and trucks will then move to the Knockdown Arms where the event concludes.
In 2023, we had an astonishing two hundred and twenty nine tractors in the event and they all took part in what was a memorable and brilliant occasion. Over the past four years we have raised over €50,000 for local charities.
To participate, each tractor and truck pays €25. D & N Catering will be on hand at Listowel Mart and each participant tractor and truck driver will be treated to a burger, chip and drink to get them off to a good start on their charity journey.
Santa’s Grotto is going to be a great new attraction this year at Listowel Livestock Mart. Between 2pm and 4pm children and their families will be able to visit Santa in the beautifully decorated Christmas Grotto. This will be a lovely experience where each child will receive a Christmas gift bag and all proceeds going to our three chosen charities.
You’ll be delighted to hear that the entire tractor and truck run will be led by none other than Santa himself. Santa’s sleigh is presently having repairs done at a workshop in a secret hideaway. Leading the Estuary Rollers around North Kerry and West Limerick is an honourable task for Santa and his sleigh. Won’t it be a beautiful sight, for every child to see, as it passes through our towns and villages?
So make sure you don’t miss it. You can enjoy the fun and be part of a fantastic fundraising local event. See you there!
