Incredible crowds and reaction, kudos to all involved 👊🏻🎅🏻
🎊Waterford has just celebrated its first year under the title of the European City of Christmas and the 12th year of the Winterval Festival, and new record-breaking data released from the digital counters across Waterford City show that on the Winterval Festival dates just over 1.8 million (after removing the local population base) unique visitors joined Waterford’s festive celebrations.
📱The data is collected via a Smart City Data Collection which is operated by Three Data Analytics on behalf of Waterford City and County Council. It enables the City to view the number of unique visitors to the area who have a mobile phone, thereby ensuring that each person counted is done so on a unique basis.
🎄Upon winning the European City of Christmas Waterford City and County Council and the Winterval team set about placing the bar high, with ambitions of attracting more visitors to Waterford for the festive season, and the visitors numbers released have not only broken all records but also all goals set for 2024.
Up the banner …….. for today only !

Here's something you didn't think you'd see again.
Ali McLoughlin back behind the bar at 37 O'Connell Street and look how happy she looks.
Before becoming Tully's Bar in 2015, the bar was called McLoughlins since 1887, run by Ali & her father before her.
Some great memories. – at Waterford, Ireland
