Dublin City Council Dublin Winter Lights this year including new locations Bank of Ireland College Green and the Central Plaza.
The event was officially switched on yesterday, transforming locations all over the city centre with projections and lighting displays created by talented artists from Ireland and around the world.

- Central Plaza (full high-definition digital projection)
- Custom House (featuring digital projection by renowned artists)
- GPO (General Post Office)
- Ha’penny Bridge (upgraded LED lighting that remains after the festival)
- Mansion House (Starry Nights, Guided by Starlight display with accessible Santa’s sleigh and a Starry Sensory Space)
- Merrion Square Park (playfulness, interactivity, lighting, projection, and stories, with relaxed viewing times on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings for a more relaxed environment)
