Marlay Park, Thursday 14th November - Saturday 4th January

Get ready to be dazzled and mesmerised in Marlay!

Ireland's largest light show is coming to south Dublin as we showcase the beloved Marlay Park by Night.

This theme will transport visitors into a realm of illumination, celebrating the park’s natural beauty after dark. The Wicklow Way Wildlife installation will feature large golden sculptures of animals that have roamed the Wicklow Way, including rabbits, foxes, deer, squirrels, and even brown bears from times past. The Night Sky will be projected onto a 30-metre hydro screen over the lake, offering an awe-inspiring display of the moon rising, the Northern Lights, and nocturnal wildlife under a starlit sky.

Visitors will also have the unique opportunity to ride a 35-metre-high observation wheel, exclusive to Marlay Park, for panoramic views of the illuminated landscape below.

Running from Nov 14th, featuring iconic displays, wondrous installations and magical creatures, get ready to be amazed.
