For over a quarter of a century now, folks have flocked to the 3 day long New Ross Christmas Festival.

It all begins with Santa and the merry carolers at the New Ross Bandstand for the tree lighting on the Friday commencing the weekend long event.

And as part of the New Ross Christmas Festival - the terrific team at Ross Farm Museum invites you to step back in time and experience Christmas in the Country. You can try your hand at craft activities in the schoolhouse and farm workshops then head to Rosebank Cottage to sample traditional dishes like plum pudding, sugar cookies, and warm spiced cider. Be sure to shop their Christmas market for handcrafted gifts and enjoy a horse drawn ride around their 60 acre farm.
