Triona’s Festive Window Wins Big at Donegal Town Lights Switch-On

At Triona, we are beyond thrilled to announce that we have been awarded the Large Window Display prize in the Donegal Town Community Chamber’s Christmas Window Display competition! Our hearts are full of gratitude and excitement as we reflect on the joy and festivity of the night, and the warm welcome we’ve received from our community.

The award was presented to us by Donegal Town Mayor Pauric Kennedy at the annual Christmas Lights Switch-On, which took place last night, December 4th, on the Diamond. It was a truly magical evening as the town lit up with Christmas cheer, marking the start of the festive season. The occasion was made even more special with so many beautiful and creative window displays from local businesses, making it a real celebration of Donegal Town’s vibrant community spirit.

Thank you Matt Britton for the image

Catriona Cassidy, our store manager in Donegal Town, was there with her daughters, Evie and Fiadh, as well as our shop floor manager, Pauline Doogan, to accept the award. It was a proud moment for the Triona team, and we are so grateful to everyone who has supported us, from our talented staff to our loyal customers and local community.

Our window display featured wreaths adorned with bows made from our Raspberry Check tweed from the Autumn Winter 2024 collection, as well as accents of our Red Donegal Fleck Tweed. These elements, which reflect the richness of Donegal's weaving heritage, came together to create a festive and elegant display that beautifully showcases our passion for craftsmanship. It’s an honour to have our window recognised for its creativity and festive spirit. A big thank you to Ingrid's Balloons for helping us create this magical display with their decorations, adding an extra touch of festive cheer to our window! 

A big congratulations also goes to the winner of the Small Window Display category, Coast Contemporary Furniture, who wowed with their modern take on holiday décor. We are proud to be part of such a wonderful community of businesses that continue to bring vibrancy and joy to Donegal Town.

As we celebrate this award, we invite everyone to come visit us in Donegal Town and Ardara this Christmas season. Whether you’re shopping for the perfect gift or simply enjoying the holiday atmosphere, we’d love to welcome you to our stores, where you’ll find our collection of Irish Tweed clothing, Irish knitwear, and Celtic jewellery.

Thank you to the Donegal Town Community Chamber, Donegal Town Mayor Pauric Kennedy, and to everyone who took part in making the evening such a memorable one. We are excited for the festive season ahead and look forward to welcoming you to Triona soon.

Come visit us, while you take in the wonderful Christmas displays and our twinkling lights in Donegal Town!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas from all of us at Triona.
