A new Christmas festival called Mistletown will take place this year at the iconic Dublin City Fruit and Veg Market near Smithfield.
With 99 days until Christmas, the arrival of Mistletown was announced on
Instagram this morning. It will be held at the Dublin City Fruit and Veg Market which is located between Capel Street and the Four Courts and will take place from Saturday, December 5 until Wednesday, December 23.
Mistletown will be run by the same team that were behind the Dublin Docklands Christmas Festival and its launch was announced this morning with the caption: 'This winter, we are excited to bring you Mistletown Christmas Festival from the iconic Dublin City Fruit and Veg Market. This building is a historic piece of the city and was opened by the Dublin Corporation in 1892 to function as a market. The building is adorned with stone and ironwork decorations in the form of fruit and vegetables. We are proud to be part of its story this Christmas!'
