The festivities kick off with the lighting of Dublin's majestic community Christmas tree and the illumination of the Dublin Link pedestrian bridge in brilliant green and red lights. Families can stroll across the pedestrian bridge enjoying live caroling, ice carving demonstrations, and stilt-walking holiday characters. Bridge Park's outdoor plaza hosts an artisan holiday market, heated fire pits, festive photo booths with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and complimentary hot chocolate stations. Kids can participate in seasonal scavenger hunts through Bridge Park businesses and create commemorative holiday crafts at the Dublin Arts Council tent.
