Dublin City Council
Dublin Winter Lights
Over the years

Since its illuminating inception in 2018, Dublin City Council Dublin Winter Lights has gotten bigger and better each and every year. 

It is now one of the largest events that Dublin City Council organises every year. It has become a familiar favourite for Dubliners, brightening up the city centre and attracting thousands of visitors to the capital during the Christmas period.

With new locations, an incomparable team of artists and a light show in Merrion Square Park, this year will undoubtedly be the best edition of Dublin City Council Dublin Winter Lights that the city has ever seen.
