This special Christmas Festival will take place at Georges Dock in the IFSC, in Docklands over the 12 days of Christmas. Starting 12th December and continuing to 23rd December, opening hours are from 12 noon to 8pm.

How to say "Merry Christmas" in Gaelic: Nollaig chridheil agus Bliadhna mhath ùr!
The Live Animal Crib
8 – 24 Dec 2009
Mansion House
Free
The Live Crib consists of a traditional nativity scene set among live animals in a specially constructed, life-size stable. The animals are brought to the Crib every morning and are returned to a farm on the outskirts of the city in the evening.
The Live Animal Crib is based on a similar Crib, which has been a feature of Christmas in the Grande Place, in Brussels for many years. It is the only one of its kind in the country and is meant as a gesture of goodwill from the Farmers of Ireland to the people of Dublin as they celebrate Christmas.
Timings: Daily 11.00am - 7.00pm, Christmas Eve: Closes at 6.00pm
