Perk up – Dublin city centre will come alive for the Dublin by Night Fest, on from the 1st to 2nd of November!
Dublin City centre is to again host two night time celebrations next month to recognise its award for consistent excellence across its evening and night time economy. After the success of last year’s inaugural event, the second annual Dublin by Night Fest will mark the city retaining the prestigious Purple Flag – presented to cities with consistently family friendly nightlife.
Last year’s events attracted 25,000 people to the city centre across two nights, and this year will see Dublin by Night Fest grow with a new additional city centre location – ‘Alive After Five’.
Events will take place on Friday, November 1 on Drury Street, South William Street and the new venue of Central Plaza, Dame Street. On Saturday November 2, Capel Street and Lower Mary Street are at the heart of the action.
Events will include lively, outdoor evening and night time street activity, including live music from the city’s up and coming artists, animation, art and culture, market stalls from local shops and food stalls from nearby restaurants.
There will also be cookery demonstrations by top Dublin City chefs.
A Purple Flag is an award for reaching a standard of excellence in the evening and night time economy through a diverse cultural offering which is non-alcohol dependent, family friendly, safe and above all – fun!
