One of the biggest New Year’s Eve celebrations on the island of Ireland, the New Year’s Festival Dublin is a thrilling countdown experience filled with great music, dazzling light shows and, of course, fireworks displays.
Taking place across two fun-filled days, the festival welcomes visitors from all over the world who come to join the locals as they ring in the New Year.
