The unveiling of a gigantic new clock in Waterford will be part of the festivities to mark the Winter Solstice on December 21st.
It will be as part of the Winter Firedance Festival and will be located in the garden at the entrance to the Museum of Time in Greyfriars Street.
The clock, called Tempus Fugit or Time Flies, has an elaborate design featuring wings spanning 6 metres and it will light up once it gets dark.
It has been designed by Cork-based artists and created by Waterford's Keating Fabricatio.
Of course, this will be the city's second large clock structure - with the clock tower being a feature on the quays since the 1850s.
Director of Waterford Treasures Museum Collection, Eamonn McEneaney, says its will add some colour to the streetscape at nighttime.
"It's not a big, boring sculpture, it's something very interactive. It's a way of animation the public realm of Waterford," he said.
There is a garden beside the Museum of Time and the clock will now add an entrance to it.
Eamonn McEneaney says the clock wouldn't have been possible without funding from public and private sources.
David Boles is one of the most significant donors to the Horology Museum.
He donated the oldest Irish watch, bracket clock, and grandfather clock that all date back to the 1680s.
David has funded 50% of the gigantic clock project, while Fáilte Ireland provided the remaining 50%.
It will be unveiled at 8:15pm on December 21st.
There will also be music on the William Vincent Plaza culminating with the Skydance fireworks as part of the festival, which is in it's second year.
