To mark the 10th birthday of the festival, Winterval's flagship event returns!

 

This time the creators have really raised the bar and given the famous 3D light and projection show a new home on Ireland biggest Christmas decoration, Winterval castle.

 

This stunning 9m high castle will be at the centre of the festival in Arundel square. During the daylight hours we encourage families to come and take some photos at the tower but as darkness falls the tower and Arundel square will come to life with an explosion of light, sound, special effects and of coarse the projection show.

 

Created by local artist John Loftus, this feast for all the senses promises to be an event not to be missed for audiences of all ages, and it’s free!
