Dublin City Council Bram Stoker Festival

Various Locations, Friday 23rd October - Monday 26th October

Dublin City Council Bram Stoker Festival celebrates the legacy of one of Ireland’s most beloved and iconic writers and is now one of Dublin’s largest arts festivals.

The festival draws inspiration from Stoker, his life, his work, the Dublin of his time and celebrates the Gothic, the supernatural, the after-dark and the Victorian. We’ve presented outdoor spectacles and intimate experiences, world film premieres and award-winning theatre productions; circus at night in dark forests; comedy in nightclubs; choral ensembles in darkened libraries and events spanning every genre.

We’ve taken over cathedrals, parks and squares; delved into Stoker’s literary impact, and entertained generations of little monsters with discos, workshops, face-painting, performances and more at Stokerland and beyond..
