SEVENTY (!) free events this weekend with lots of Christmas Markets and other Christmas-related happenings
Hi all!
The next two weekends are the busiest for Christmas Markets and City Centre will get busier and busier from now until 16:00 on 24 December. It is funny how we fall into routines year after year when it comes to recurring events like Christmas.
Some of you are probably well sorted, others haven’t even thought much about Christmas and others again are determined to leave everything until 14:00 on Christmas Eve.
If you want, you can still change things up a little this year. It is not too late. But on the other hand, if it has worked for you for many many years already then maybe there is NO need to break with habits that serve you well.
My habitual procedure over the next two weekends will be to go to lots of Christmas Markets and I am looking forward to it. The full list of Christmas Markets in Dublin is on this website: www.DublinChristmasMarkets.com
For the Dublin Event Guide the December is shorter than other months, because after 20 December most of you won’t have time to look at it until next year. The cost for keeping it running are the same, though so for that reason it would be RALLY great if a few more of you could help this weekend and next weekend and helping is really easy and doesn’t cost you a cent.
Just a few clicks/taps that take less than 30 seconds and you will have helped hugely! Your few clicks keep the Dublin Event Guide alive! :-)
This is how the support works and it is really 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!
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. Some people have asked me for the Dublin Event Guide PayPal link for direct donations and here it is: www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide
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
