Big Christmas Tree Lighting ceremonies around Dublin

The Lord Mayor of Dublin Christy Burke and Dublin City Council would love you to get along to some of the Christmas Tree Lighting ceremonies taking place around the city in the coming weeks.

The Lord Mayor will switch on the lights of the city’s biggest Christmas Tree in O’Connell Street on Sunday 30th November and local councillors will deputise for him at the many local tree lighting ceremonies around the city.

Dublin City Council has provided approximately 30 Christmas trees which will be switched on in local communities in preparation for the festive season from 26th November until 4th December.

The Lord Mayor said “Local Tree Lighting events are a great way for communities to mark the beginning of the Christmas season. Children love this magical time of year. I would like to congratulate Dublin City Council for organising ceremonies all over the city.”
