‘St. Patrick’s Festival After Dark’ Returns to Dublin City with Late Night Music, Club Nights and Fire Performances
Published on 12th March 2026
‘St. Patrick’s Festival After Dark’ returns to Dublin this weekend from March 14 to 17, bringing a packed late-night programme of DJ sets, curated club nights and outdoor fire performances to venues across the city.
Supported by Dublin City Council’s Night-Time Economy Advisor in association with St. Patrick’s Festival Dublin, the programme shines a light on Dublin’s night-time culture as part of the wider festival weekend.
This year’s participating venues have grown in number and include The Grand Social, Pygmalion, The River Bar, Tengu, Token and Wigwam, with each venue hosting special late-night events across the festival period. The programme will also include a series of late-night fire shows, adding spectacle and energy to the city after dark.
The Dublin Nights Help Zone, known as ‘The Nee Naw’, will also return for one night only on Monday, March 16, based at 57 Camden Street, providing support in the city centre as festival celebrations continue.
Ray O’Donoghue, Dublin’s Night-Time Economy Advisor, said:
“After Dark adds another dimension to St. Patrick’s Festival by showcasing the energy, creativity and quality of Dublin at night. It is a chance for people to experience some of the city’s best venues, music and atmosphere as part of one of the biggest weekends of the year.”
