Here comes 2026! Celebrate the new year with three days of concerts and festivals at New Year’s Festival Dublin, traversing the city all the way from Dublin Castle to Meeting House Square. Echoes of Ireland will commence the festivities on 30 December at Dublin Castle, as well as the NYF Music Trail across the city. On the second day, street performers and marching bands will be on the streets as well as a countdown concert matinee and a full concert later at the Dublin Castle.
Other New Year’s events include RTÉ Concert Orchestra’s night of song, swing, and soul and the Talbot Hotel’s Back in Time Ball. To properly kick off the new year, NYF will host a firework spectacular in Howth and Dún Laoghaire Harbour.
Happy 2026!
