Perform at Christkindlmarkt Dublin
Entertainment schedule coming soon
Help shape the sound, warmth, and cultural cheer of Dublin’s first Christkindlmarkt.
From November 21 through December 24, 2026, Riverside Crossing Park will become Christkindlmarkt Dublin—a European holiday village inspired by the tradition of German Christmas markets.
Music and performance will be part of the atmosphere of the market itself, inviting guests to pause, gather, listen, and experience another dimension of the wonder of the market.
We are seeking talented performers and groups whose work feels at home within that experience.
What Performers Should Know
Christkindlmarkt Dublin is an outdoor winter market, and performers should be prepared for seasonal temperatures and conditions.
Performance logistics, including scheduling, performance locations, technical capabilities, equipment, and loading and unloading information, will be shared as details are confirmed.
Additional performer requirements will be communicated before participation is finalized.
Help Shape the Sound of the Market
At Christkindlmarkt Dublin, entertainment is not separate from the guest experience. It is one of the elements that helps create it.
The right music and performances can add warmth to a winter afternoon, create moments of connection among gathering guests, and deepen the sense that they have stepped into a European holiday village.
We are especially interested in performances rooted in German and European musical traditions, along with seasonal and holiday programming that naturally complements the setting of a traditional Christkindlmarkt.
The strongest fits will contribute to the atmosphere of the market while welcoming a broad, multigenerational audience.
What We’re Looking For
Christkindlmarkt Dublin welcomes interest from high-quality performers and groups whose music or performances complement the cultural character and welcoming atmosphere of the market.
We are looking for performers who understand that the market itself is the experience. Performances should feel natural within the setting, add to the guest experience, and contribute to the warmth and cultural cheer of Christkindlmarkt Dublin.
That feeling is part of Gemütlichkeit—a German word that conveys warmth, friendliness, comfort, good cheer, and a sense of belonging. Through music and performance, we hope to create moments that invite guests to linger, listen, and share in the Freude—joy and delight—of the season.
