Every autumn, Dublin transforms into a city of light, mystery, and imagination as it honors one of its most famous sons — Bram Stoker, the Irish author who gave the world Dracula.
The Bram Stoker Festival brings together art, theatre, performance, and spectacle inspired by the dark beauty of Stoker’s work. Giant illuminated figures, live performances, and music fill the streets, creating an atmosphere that feels both eerie and enchanting — a true celebration of Dublin’s gothic soul.
Organised by the Dublin City Council, the festival attracts visitors from all over the world every October. From outdoor installations to film screenings and immersive experiences, it’s a multi-sensory tribute that connects literature, creativity, and urban culture in the most atmospheric way.
💡 If you plan to visit Dublin in autumn, the Bram Stoker Festival is an unmissable experience — a walk through the light and the darkness, between fantasy and art.
