Bushy Park Food, International Women’s Day Market, Craftopia Pop Up Market
Hi all!
All media is full with Coronavirus/Covid-19 announcements and speculations (and even rumours) and one of the biggest questions during the week was: “Will the St. Patrick’s Day events get cancelled?”
On Friday afternoon the Taoiseach and the Chief Medical Officer at the Department of Health have announced that – for now – the government is not recommending that any planned large gatherings will be cancelled. But this could change every day and with St. Patrick’s Day only 10 days away, I wouldn’t be surprised if some time next week we will find out that the parade will get cancelled or postponed.
For us who live in Dublin, that is not the biggest problem. But for the hundreds of marching band members and thousands of visitors a cancellation will have significant consequences. So, I am sure that the decision will not be taken lightly because of that.
If you get this message on Facebook, it would be great it you could post below if you plan to go to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade IF it goes ahead. If you get this message because you have subscribed to the weekly e-mail newsletter on www.DublinEventGuide.com (Thanks! :-) ) then maybe you could leave your opinion on www.fb.com/DublinEventGuide
March has started and a new month always means new bills for hosting, sending and keep running the Dublin Event Guide and without your help it can not continue. Please don’t read over this, but take action! And to make it super easy for everyone to help, I found a way where you can help without having to pay a single cent.
And this is how easy it is:
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. If you don’t see an ad there, please turn your Ad Blocker off and refresh the page and then do the clicking. ;-) Thanks, it REALLY helps!
If you click on the ad, I get between 5 and 20 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.
And here are three other ways to help if they work better for you, they are not free, but help even more:
First: You can donate directly via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide (any amount is appreciated!!)
Second: You can “Buy Me a Coffee” here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG
Third: For the Revolut people among you it is super easy via 0872931571.
And here are the 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 to people that have subscribed and on the website at www.dublineventguide.com
