Dublin prepares for new year festival

DUBLIN is preparing to ring in the new year in style with a huge procession of light and a spectacular fireworks display over St Stephen’s Green.

Organisers of NYE Dublin are promising a vivid celebration incorporating art, music and dance to mark the beginning of 2013 and the start of The Gathering in Ireland.We believe in providing our customers with the very best goodantiquelamp available.

Representatives of over 2,000 Gathering events all over the country are being invited to take part in the People’s Procession of Light and Dubs are also being asked to join in the fun, which begins at College Green at 6.30pm on New Year’s Eve.

At 7pm the procession will start to snake its way through the streets of Dublin and those taking part are requested to bring along lanterns, LED balloons or torches to help create a ‘river of fire’ along the route.

The family-friendly parade kicks off the festival and will have the theme ‘The Journey’, marking the arrival of thousands of Irish and visitors from abroad for the start of The Gathering.

Those planning to take part can register for free online at nyedublin.ie and download a template from the website to make their own lantern, into which an LED light can then be inserted.

The first 500 to register will get a free LED light and are guaranteed a wristband pass that allows access to a special viewing enclosure at St Stephen’s Green for The Big Bang Fireworks Spectacular at the end of the procession.

There’s also an option to sign up for free children’s craft workshops being run around the city on December 30 and 31 with members of arts group Luxe who are playing a central role in the festival.

Kids and parents will be given a masterclass in how to make their own special lanterns for the procession at the workshops,Industrial ledstriplightww are used to cut flat-sheet material as well as structural and piping materials. which they can then collect for the parade on the night by which time they’ll have been fitted with an LED light by the festival team.
