6 Must-Visit Holiday Markets in Ireland

"Running since 1852, this historic market is a lively foodie hot spot any weekend with artisan foods, local producers, crafts, and live music, and it gets a festive makeover for December with a Christmas canopy of lights and a seasonal theme to the local food, handmade crafts, and art on offer. There’s also music, plus family fun like movies and a Santa’s Grotto. While you’re shopping, take a break at the open-air café with foodie treats from the Flying Cheese Brigade, sweet and savory offerings from Bon Appétit Crêperie & Catering, coffee from Harpers or Greenacres, Meltie toasties from SOS Cookies, and sweet delights from Wild Fig Foods. The holiday theme runs from Friday, Dec. 5 to Sunday, Dec. 7; Friday, Dec. 12 to Sunday, Dec. 14; and Friday, Dec. 19 to Wednesday, Dec. 24." - Yvonne Gordon
