Organisers say the event will allow for physical distancing.

The details of a massive new Christmas Festival for Dublin have been announced.

Mistletown will run from the 5th to the 23rd of December at the historic Smithfield fruit and veg market.

The free event will include a food village, craft market and vintage funfair.

Artists and performers will keep people entertained on a stage raised three metres above the ground.

While a Vintage Carousel which dates back to the 1890’s, will also feature.

Lord Mayor of Dublin Councillor Hazel Chu said: ‘Mistletown is a fantastic initiative, and presents an opportunity for attendees to enjoy a festive event in a safe and socially distant manner.

‘The festival will have something to offer for people of all ages and tastes and I look forward to seeing it take shape in Dublin’s iconic Fruit and Veg Market. I would like to thank all involved for all of the work and planning which has gone into ensuring that Mistletown will proceed while adhering to public health guidance.’

Organisers say the 6-thousand square metre indoor space will allow for physical distancing and will be subject to the latest government and HSE guidelines.
