For four days, the birthplace of the author of <em>Dracula<\/em> It fills with shows, stories, and parades. We&#039;ve been organizing trips to Ireland since 2012: here are the 2026 dates, the program, and our tips for making the most of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bram Stoker Festival: 2026 dates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next edition will take place from Friday 23 to Monday 26 October 2026, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/bramstokerfestival.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website of the festival<\/a>. It therefore falls on the Irish bank holiday weekend at the end of October, just before Halloween.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The detailed program will be announced at the end of September. We will update this article as soon as it is published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is this festival named after Bram Stoker?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bram Stoker was born in Clontarf, Dublin, in 1847. He studied at Trinity College, then worked at Dublin Castle before moving to London. His novel <em>Dracula<\/em>, published in 1897, actually invented the modern figure of the vampire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city is therefore paying tribute to him with a festival organised by the municipality, Dublin City Council. It blends literature, street art and popular culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens during the Bram Stoker Festival?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The festival takes over several venues in the city for four days. The program changes every year, but it generally includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>street performances and light installations in the centre; ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>readings, stories and meetings about Gothic and <em>Dracula<\/em> ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>concerts, screenings and themed evenings; ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>workshops and activities for families, often free; ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>guided tours following in the footsteps of the author and Victorian Dublin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some events are free, while indoor shows require a ticket. Book as soon as the program is announced, as tickets sell out quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Halloween in Dublin, beyond the festival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Halloween has its roots in Samhain, the Celtic festival that marked the end of the harvest. Ireland, along with Scotland, is its birthplace. Around October 31st, Dublin&#039;s neighborhoods organize their own parades and fireworks displays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To expand on this theme, our guide to\u2019<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/halloween-in-edinburgh\/\">Halloween in Edinburgh<\/a> presents the other major Celtic festival of the moment, the Samhuinn Fire Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our tips for the Bram Stoker Festival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Book your accommodation early: the bank holiday weekend at the end of October is very popular in Dublin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plan to spend three or four nights enjoying the festival without rushing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get around on foot and by tram, as many events take place in the centre.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pack warm and waterproof clothing, as temperatures often range between 8 and 13\u00b0C at the end of October.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With children, aim for daytime activities, which are more suitable than evening shows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to visit in Dublin during the festival?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take advantage of the day to explore the city. Trinity College, where Bram Stoker studied, houses the Book of Kells. Dublin Castle, his former workplace, is also open to visitors. Finally, Marsh&#039;s Library and Glasnevin Cemetery perfectly complement the Gothic atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To organize your days, follow our itinerary for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/visit-dublin-in-3-days\/\">Visit Dublin in 3 days<\/a>.
