For four days between 28th and 31st October 2022 (in future years the festival will move with the dates of the bank holiday weekend), Dublin City will celebrate the life and legacy of Bram Stoker and his most famous novel ‘Dracula’. The Festival will comprise of a collaborative programme of literary, cultural, contemporary and family events, staged across the October Bank Holiday weekend that will engage with a broad audience, both domestic and international, promoting Dublin as the premier destination for a Bram Stoker/Gothic/Halloween break.

Dublin City Council intends to establish a Single Party work Agreement with a suitably qualified service provider.  

The work will be established for an initial period of two (2) years.  The contracting authority reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to extend the term of the work by two (2) 12-month periods.  For the avoidance of all doubt, the maximum term of the work Agreement is four years, however contracts may be awarded during the term of the work Agreement which extend beyond the term of the work Agreement.
