Families and the city lead the morning
Dublin City Council’s Bram Stoker Festival runs across more than a dozen venues today. Stokerland offers free family programming in St. Patrick’s Park from 11:00 to 16:30, with music, theatre, games and creative play.
Donal Fallon’s Mount Jerome cemetery tour starts at 10:00, followed at noon by parallel Haunted Dublin, Bram Stoker Dublin and Dark Side of Irish Mythology walks.
Restored Dracula and a closer reading of Stoker
The Light House Cinema screens the 1958 Dracula in 4K restoration. At Trinity College, Dacre Stoker explores the research behind Dracula before a later talk links gothic motifs to contemporary fashion.
Many Sunday events are sold out, so remaining walks and free events should be checked directly on the official site. The festival continues Monday with the Macnas Fiáin parade, Dracula’s Disco and Blood, Guts & Black Pudding.
More than a horror weekend
By linking literature, film, urban history, family entertainment, fashion and food, the programme spreads audiences across Dublin and creates day-long demand for cultural venues, hospitality and themed tourism.
