Winterval 2014 Ambassador Keith Barry who will perform a free 'Magic on The Mall' event on Saturday, November 29th.

One of Waterford’s most famous sons, illusionist Keith Barry has been announced as this year’s Winterval Festival Ambassador.
Last Friday, Keith unveiled details of the 32 Christmas themed events, which will feature at the third annual Festival, which takes place this year in the City from November 21st to December 23rd.
But Keith remained tight-lipped about the festive first illusion planned for November 29th, ‘Magic on the Mall’ is where he will perform in front of a live crowd.
Details of the very special illusion have been written down and will be kept under Christmas wrappings whilst they are stored in a tamper-proof exhibition case at the Waterford Museum of Treasures at Bishop’s Palace.
Members of the public are being invited to guess the illusion in advance, with the chance to win a family prize star package to attend the festival in style.
“I am honoured to be this year’s Waterford Winterval Ambassador, being my hometown I am proud to see how everyone in the city has come together to make such a magical Christmas Festival,” said Keith.
“With over 30 attractions many of them free, Waterford’s Winterval Christmas festival is a must see this year. I have planned a very special performance in the city on the 29th of November and I hope you can join me to experience this once in a lifetime magical experience.”
The Winterval magical event with Keith Barry is a free public ticketed event, and festival-goers are encouraged to visit the Winterval website (www.winterval.ie) to register for one of the limited number of free tickets to ‘Magic on The Mall’.
