The IFA Live Animal Crib is back for the Christmas period!

The life-sized Nativity scene opened on the 9th of December in the Mansion House on Dawson Street.

This is the 20th year of the event, which is a joint initiative between Dublin City Council and the Irish Farmers’ Association. The life-size crib is constructed by the Housing Maintenance Section of Dublin City Council and features a donkey, sheep and goat, which are brought from a farm on the outskirts of the city every morning.

Admission is free and the crib is open daily from 11am to 6pm until Christmas Eve, when it closes at 2pm.
