New Year's Eve Dublin 2019: Fireworks, events and things to do to ring in 2020

The end of the year is almost upon us and what a 12 months 2019 has been.

Whether you are going all out tonight and celebrating the great memories you've had or you're trying to erase the last year entirely, there are plenty of things to do to ring in the new year and new decade in the capital.

Here's our guide on firework displays and other exciting things to do in Dublin on December 31.

Custom House Quay display

Fireworks and laser light shows will light up the Quays tonight as we make our way into 2020.

Thousands of people will be gathering in and around the city for this one with a great atmosphere likley.

If you can't get your hand on tickets, you can hang around the general area to get a glimpse of the light show.

Three Countdown concert

Walking on Cars take to the outdoor stage at 8pm outside the Custom House.

Tickets are required for the event at a charge of €36.90 through nyfdublin.com.

Liffey Lights Midnight Moment – Matinee

Dublin City will light up with excitement as the family-friendly Liffey Lights Midnight Moment – Matinee makes a highly anticipated return this year with a brand new early countdown spectacle set to amaze audiences.

Families and friends of all ages can ring in the New Year together with entertainment starting at 6pm leading to the earlier countdown spectacle at 7pm.

It's sadly sold-out however.

Liffey Lights Midnight Moment 

This dazzling lighting spectacle will be performed against the backdrop of the Custom House and features a thrilling choreography of lasers and aqua beams. You’ll be amazed as live DJs and percussionists perform on the water in perfect harmony with hundreds of lasers and lights as they illuminate the midnight sky over Dublin City.

It starts from 11:30pm and no tickets are required for this free event.

Discotekken NYE Party

Wigwam is joining forces with Discotekken to hold a NYE dinner dance bash.

They will kick off at 8pm with a long table dinner followed by a big party in the basement.

They're limiting the venue capacity so it won't be the usual NYE squeeze.

Admission to the club party is €10 or you can get a two-course meal and a cocktail for an extra €15.

Head to the pub

If all else fails why not just head to the pub, it's guaranteed to be busy and there should be a great atmosphere.

All pubs in the city centre promise to be very busy so maybe a few drinks at your local surrounded by friendly faces is the way to go.
