This year’s festival is expected to attract over 50,000 domestic and international visitors to the capital city.
Speaking ahead of the festival, Director of Product Development at Fáilte Ireland Orla Carroll said:
“Fáilte Ireland’s New Year’s Festival Dublin returns next week with a fantastic line up of both free and ticketed events for the whole family to enjoy.
"A flagship event in Fáilte Ireland’s Winter in Dublin programme, festivals like NYF Dublin are an important part of the Irish tourism offering and essential for supporting local businesses and communities, especially during the shoulder season. This year, we’re expecting to welcome over 50,000 local, domestic and international visitors to Dublin City. Along with our partners in the Office of Public Works, Fingal County Council and Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown Council, we encourage everyone to enjoy this spectacular three-day celebration as we ring in the New Year in Dublin.”
New Year’s Festival Dublin will take place from December 30 until January 1 and over 50 acts will perform across three days in iconic Dublin venues including Dublin Castle and Meeting House Square, Temple Bar. Part of Fáilte Ireland’s ‘Winter in Dublin’ programme, the New Year’s Festival aims to establish Dublin as a must-visit destination to celebrate New Year’s Eve and is an important economic driver for tourism businesses during the shoulder season.
Cian Ducrot will headline the Countdown Concert at Dublin Castle on December 31 with special guests Aby Coulibaly, Kabin Crew & Lisdoonvarna Crew and Saibh Skelly. An exciting new NYF Dublin Music Trail will feature live performances from Ireland’s up and coming musicians and DJs across a host of Dublin venues including Whelan’s, O’Donohue’s, The Grand Social, The Workman’s Club, Wigwam, The Storyteller and Hyde Dublin.
