Merchy Christmas is back! A real-life merch market where all your favourite artists flog their wares directly to you, their fans. Established during the Christmas lockdown in 2020, it was the brainwave of Conor Cusack (Saint Sister’s manager) and Saint Sister.
Chatting about ways to create a personal connection with their listeners and thank them for their support over the difficult year, they had the idea of a communal merch stall mixed with a Christmas market.
Working with Keiron Black and the folks at The Grand Social (longstanding champions of the independent music community) they put together a two-day event across multiple floors, which was hugely successful. 2021 saw the market return in full force. Once again, amidst challenging restrictions, it raised much-needed funds for the artists, and for a significant cause, Homelessness in Dublin.
Now in its fifth year, the crew are again focusing on helping to raise much-needed funds for those in need. Levels of homelessness in Dublin are higher than ever, and they are proud to help raise money to support the much-needed work of Dublin Simon Community.
In addition to helping those at home, Merchy Christmas is also raising money for those who need help further afield. Specifically, those suffering in Palestine. This year, alongside Dublin Simon Community, the event is proudly partnering with The Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF).
