Dublin’s iconic fruit and vegetable market is set to reopen this month for two days only.
The Victorian market will host the Spring Festival Fair on January 25 and 26 as part of the 2020 Dublin Chinese New Year Festival (DCNYF).
It’ll be jam-packed with workshops, performances, tasty food stalls, demos, and lots more.
The historic red brick building, owned by Dublin City Council, was closed for redevelopment in August 2019.
The DCNYF will run from January 24 to February 10 with lots of free events planned.
Visitors can try everything from square dancing, sampling dumplings, a Chinese art, Chinese tea ceremony, to creating your own Chinese puppet, immersing yourself in culture, film and music.
Lord Mayor of Dublin Paul Mc Auliffe said: “Dublin Chinese New Year Festival has been a wonderful addition to Dublin’s cultural calendar since its founding in 2008. This year’s programme is one of the strongest to date, with a jam-packed schedule of exciting events set to take place across the city.”
