Welcome to Dublin at Christmas!

Things to do in Dublin at Christmas & New Year

Dublin city is a truly special place at Christmas time. From the switching on the lights ceremonies, right up until the big day itself, Dublin sparkles with festive spirit like nowhere else. A variety of merry events take place during the weeks running up to Christmas and there is something for the young and the old and for family and friends alike.

Dublin City BID will continue their tradition of bringing lights to the city centre, totalling 30 streets alive with the magic of Christmas!

Don’t forget to write your letters to Santa nice and early and post them in our special Santa post boxes located at Stephen's Green SC and Henry St.

Visit Santa on his Dublin Town Roadshow with lots of entertainment for all the family too! See events for more details.

There are lots of reasons to bring the family into the city centre this Christmas so come enjoy some festive cheer under the sparkling lights!
