Fáilte Ireland’s New Year’s Festival Dublin 2024 attracted an estimated 50,000 domestic and international visitors to the capital this week.
More than 50 acts – with singer/songwriter Cian Ducrot headlining the Countdown Concert at Dublin Castle – performed across three days (December 30 to January 1) at iconic venues like Dublin Castle and Meeting House Square.
The annual event forms part of Fáilte Ireland’s ‘Winter in Dublin’ programme, the New Year’s Festival and aims to establish Dublin as a must-visit destination to celebrate New Year’s Eve and is an important economic driver for tourism businesses during the shoulder season.
Director of Product Development at Fáilte Ireland Orla Carroll said: “A flagship event in Fáilte Ireland’s Winter in Dublin programme, festivals like NYF Dublin are an important part of the Irish tourism offering and essential for supporting local businesses and communities, especially during the shoulder season.”
