Enjoy the autumn season in Bray
Bray.ie launched its autumn tourism campaign for 2019 on Wednesday, August 28th, 2019. The aim of the initiative is to achieve increased visitor numbers in order to help boost the local economy.
Eugene Finnegan from Bray Tourism said, “Bray is the perfect staycation location, whether it’s a midterm family holiday or simply a weekend break. We’re home to some of the best experiences in the country. In a nutshell, Bray won’t disappoint you.”
It’s the best time to enjoy the autumn leaves in the People’s Park. You can shop for your winter wardrobe. Watch some amazing performances at the Mermaid Arts Centre or simply catch a live gig at the many pubs throughout the town.
There’s plenty to explore in Bray so what are you waiting for… enjoy a cosy break this autumn.

Throughout the Harbour Bar Toastie Festival, there will be the classic ham and cheese offering alongside some more adventurous fillings to try and match with whatever your tipple. Non-gluten and vegan toasties will also be available. Visitors can snag a seat by one of the Harbour Bar’s roaring fires or cosy up out front for outside service.
