Dublin Event Guide 816: Arthur Guinness’ spirit lives on — Dublin Pride Festival, Dublin Plein Air Painting Festival, SubSounds Youth Music Festival, Dundrum & Drimnagh & Lusk Festival

June 24th, 2023

Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)

Arthur Guinness’ spirit lives on

Dublin Pride Festival, Dublin Plein Air Painting Festival, SubSounds Youth Music Festival, Dundrum & Drimnagh & Lusk Festival

Hi!!

One thing Dublin is missing badly is a central space that is suitable as an event square for markets and other events. Most European cities have some sort of a market square in the centre of the city, Dublin has nothing.

Smithfield Plaza was an attempt to create an event square, but for some reason it has never been as successful as it should/could be. Events there usually suffer from underwhelming attendance (with a few exceptions), so that attempt didn’t really work.

But now there is really promising news coming from The Liberties: Diageo is not brewing beer at their site in Dublin anymore, so the land of former St James’s Gate brewery is available for something else and there is LOT of land.

In this article libertiesdublin.ie/guinness-quarter/ the plans are explained and it sounds really good. The plan is to put 326 apartments, a 300-seater performance space, a market and foodhall, a hotel and a wide range of commercial, retail and community spaces. More than two acres of public outdoor spaces will be provided and the largest of these spaces is a public square, could that be our new “market square”?

Sir Arthur Guinness, who did great things to this city, is long gone, but it seems the people at Diageo have not forgotten his intentions. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that this all will happen as planned. No timescales are given and due to the siye of the site, it will take some time

Donations in June: 
EUR 168

(By the end of the month, this number has to reach or exceed EUR 200 to guarantee the continuation of the Dublin Event Guide.)

If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.

The counter here shows the current donation status. By the end of the month EUR 200 will be subtracted to pay the bills. If more money has been donated, the rest will be carried forward. If donations have stopped below the EUR 200, the missing amount will be carried over.

Thank you soo much for helping again this week! This week the following wonderful people donated: Laura, Anna, Frank, Jennifer! Thank you! :-) Your donation will keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and will motivate me to continue week after week. I appreciate you and your support!

The month is nearly over, but we are still a good bit below the required EUR 200 to pay the bills, so if you can help with a donation, please do so! Thank you!!

With the above counter you know at all times where we stand and when donating is needed. Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and all donors will also get some additional bonuses.

Here are some more details about donations:
Any amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That’s just one Euro per month and you get FOUR Dublin Event Guides for that Euro! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 4. All donations will be used in full for the Dublin Event Guide.

To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: gturl.eu/DEGdonate. It is really easy to use and uses Stripe’s trustworthy payment processing. You can even sign up for a yearly subscription on the donation page! Yearly subscriptions will give some important financial stability and reliability to the Dublin Event Guide and are therefore very much appreciated! (Look for the RED subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)

In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb or now also revolut.me/joergbrb
(If possible, please send your full name and e-mail address as a message with the payment via PayPal or Revolut so that I can tell you about bonuses for donors when available.)

To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG

And there is one other way to help and it is even free: If you come to www.DublinEventGuide.com and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent! ?

Thank you!!

The ship is anchored at Berth 18, which is immediately east of Eastlink Toll Bridge, on the North Wall extension and accessible from beside the roundabout at 3Arena.
“Gorch Fock” (named after the pseudonym of German Writer Johann Kinau), is a sail training vessel for the German Navy, and is visiting Dublin for the sixth time, but the first time since 2015.
The 81 metres long three-masted barque was commissioned in 1958 and renovated between 2015 and 2021, it is a ship that is well-known and well-liked in Germany and more than 15,000 officer and non-commissioned officer candidates have been trained on board to date. www.dublinport.ie/german-navy-tall-ship-gorch-fock-arrives-in-dublin-port/

+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES
Is there ever a wrong time for learning a new skill or enhancing what you are already interested in? Maybe it is a language or an instrument or some technical skills? Or something completely different? Nearly every subject is there! Check out Udemy via the link below, they have thousands of courses and there is good chance that what you are looking for is available. Nearly all the courses are REALLY affordable!
The lowest price most of the time is EUR 12.99. Sometimes it even goes down further to EUR 9.99 and when that happens (about once or twice a year), I will tell you. But even 12.99 is definitely a good price for what you get! – Check out the website at www.getthislink.com/Udemy22 And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)

+++ Some more events:
Find Library events here www.dublincity.ie/events
and Trinity College Events here www.tcd.ie/news_events/events/?day=19&month=06&year=2023&search=week

+++ Storytelling and Toddler Groups at Dublin City Libraries
The Dublin City Libraries have published a list of Storytelling and Toddler groups for age 0-4 across the Dublin City Libraries. You can find it here www.dublincity.ie/library/blog/storytelling-and-toddler-groups-dublin-city-libraries

And this is it for another week! Have a great weekend and good new week.

Take care,
