Donegal County Council has received €50,000 in funding to support Christmas events and initiatives across the county.
The funding allocation will go towards enhancing the festive atmosphere in rural towns and villages in a bid to encourage people to shop local and support their town centres in the run up to Christmas.
The Council has invited proposals from community based groups in towns with a population of 5,000 or less, to support Christmas markets, Christmas lights and other Christmas events.
The €50,000 in funding is intended to be split between each of the five Municipal Districts in Donegal.
