Dublin Maker, Rose Festival, Wings Food Fest, Liberties Festival, Treasure Hunt, People’s Art
Good morning!
Summer in Dublin is continuing! …and isn’t Dublin glorious when the sun shines!? ;-)
After a super City Spectacular last week, the summer events continue this week with the Maker Fair, the St. Ann’s Park Rose Festival and the Teddy Bear’s Picnic in Blackrock and the Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) brings you a list of free events again this week.
Last week the list was super long, but the time it took to put the list together far exceeded the support I got. I spent about 6 hours searching for free events last week and the (totally-free-to-you) support as described below was less than EUR 20. From 26,000 people who saw the events list! :-O That’s EUR 3.33 per hour or 0.0007 cent per Dublin Event Guide reader. Hmmm, is that a good use of my time?
The way to support the Dublin Event Guide is VERY simple and doesn’t cost you a cent:
Just go to www.DublinEventGuide.com and click on the ad banner that is at the very top of the page! If you don’t see an ad banner there, please turn your Ad Blocker off and refresh the page and then do the clicking. ;-) It is just a few cents that I will get, but if enough people click on it – and it only takes a few seconds! – , it might do the job to cover the cost for sending the Dublin Event Guide. Thanks!
And here are 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!
