By Stephen Holland, DublinLive

Dublin City Council has today launched a six-week festive campaign urging people to ‘Feel Dublin City Twinkle’ this Christmas .

The campaign promotes the special experience that is Dublin city centre at Christmas. Over November and December it will highlight a range of attractions and experiences for all ages while supporting businesses by promoting Christmas markets, shopping and nightlife.

“Dublin at Christmas is like nowhere else,” said the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Ray McAdam. “When our city begins to twinkle, with light, with music, with the energy of families and friends coming together, you can feel something special in the air.”

“It’s a season that reminds us of who we are as Dubliners: welcoming, warm, full of joy and full of heart,” he added. “This year’s ‘Feel Dublin City Twinkle’ campaign invites everyone to rediscover that magic.”

“To wander our streets and squares, to enjoy our markets, cafes, and shops, and to support the local businesses that bring life to our city centre. Christmas in Dublin isn’t just something you see — it’s something you feel! So, I encourage everyone to come in, be part of it, and let the sparkle of our capital lift your spirits this festive season.”

The cross-organisational, multi-channel, multi-platform campaign encourages people to experience the excitement of Christmas in the city. It highlights a wide range of family and festive events throughout the city centre at Christmas.

It promotes the retail and hospitality offerings and makes it easy to find out more about Dublin City Council –supported events via dedicated web pages on the council’s site. It also provides information on the ease of travelling into the city.

Combining the reach of Video On Demand, press, radio, outdoor, digital and social channels, the campaign will be seen, heard and engaged with by audiences in Dublin and nationwide.
