Event Guide for free Events in Greater Dublin
The "Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)" is Dublin's most popular event magazine that focuses on the vast amount of cultural events for no admission charges. For more than 11 years it was a weekly e-mail magazine that listed, described and recommended 170-200 free cultural events in Dublin City and in the Greater Dublin area. Gigs, Festivals, Talks, Lectures, Exhibitions and much more for all age groups were included. After 600 editions, the Dublin Event Guide was semi-retired and now continues in a new format.
The Dublin Event Guide is a non commercial initiative and is published by Joerg Steegmueller, it has more than 24,000 readers. Instead of a weekly e-mail, there is now an e-mail only when significant events happen and you can subscribe for free on the right here -->>
This site contains the newest edition below and is updated as soon as it is completed (check the date!). But even if there is no new edition here, you probably find some event information on the Dublin Event Guide Facebook Page at www.facebook.com/DublinEventGuide!
The newest Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) below was posted on 25 January 2020:
Dublin Event Guide 640: Chinese New Year Festival, Zero Waste Festival, Temple Bar Trad Festival, Silk Road Film Festival
25 January 2020 – No 640 Subscribers: 24,000
Hi all! And another weekend has arrived. Isn’t it crazy that four weeks of 2020 are already over? Oh and Christmas Day is just 11 month away. :-)))) You can never mention Christmas early enough, right? :-D This weekend the Temple Bar Trad Festival is happening and there are lots of events for kids (most other free events are booked out) and also the Chinese New Year will start today (Saturday). The year of the Rat is starting and if you meet your Chinese friends this weekend you can wish them “Gong hei fat choy” in Cantonese and “Gong she fa tsai” in Mandarin! It means “Wishing you great happiness and prosperity.” I am wishing you that as well, even if you are not Chinese! ;-) Thanks for your support last week, it makes a huge difference and without it, this Dublin Event Guide can’t continue, so everybody who helps is making a difference! There is a free way to help and it is explained below. I get a few cent that way and if enough people help, then enough money comes together. But last week one very helpful person suggested to let you “Buy Me a Coffee” ;-) and here is the link for that www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG OR you can also donate directly via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide if you prefer that. And for the Revolut people among you it gets even easier: 0872931571. And this is how you can help in a way that doesn’t cost you a single cent and it is super easy: Just go to www.DublinEventGuide.com and at the top you will find the sentence “Is this what you were looking for?”. Right below that sentence you should find a rectangular ad. Please click on it! And now we come to some of this weekend’s free events. All events are sorted by start time, but watch out for the few events that have a “++” in front of them, the are particularly recommended. ;-) ALL events in this list are free, but some require booking! The market events that take place every week are only posted on the website at www.dublineventguide.com + Temple Bar Food Market: Sat 10:00-16:30 on Meeting House Square www.facebook.com/TempleBarFoodMarket/ ++ Spring Festival Fair – Chinese New Year Festival 11:00-17:00 Dublin Fruit and Veg Market, Mary’s Lane, Dublin 7 www.dublinchinesenewyear.com/?post_type=event&p=4307 in addition there are all the other free events at the National Museum, National Gallery, National Print Museum, Hugh Lane Gallery, Science Gallery, Chester Beatty Library National Botanic Gardens and then there are all the weekly markets.
Chinese New Year Festival, Zero Waste Festival, Temple Bar Trad Festival, Silk Road Film Festival
The ad might change every time you open/refresh the page, so I can’t tell you what it is promoting. And if you don’t see an ad there, please turn your Ad Blocker off and refresh the page and then do the clicking. ;-) Thanks!
If you click on the ad, I get between 5 and 30 cent. That is not much, but if enough people help, it will do the job to cover the cost to keep the Dublin Event Guide going.
