Culture in bucket loads!

Cruinniu na nOg, UCD Festival, Multicultural Celebration Family Fun Day, Defence Forces Bands on Parade, Bloomsday
|
|
|
|
Hi!!
|
|
Today, this introduction will be super short. It is a very busy weekend with Cruinniú na nÓg for kids and young people up tp 18. With the UCD Festival for everybody also today and a Mulitcultural Family Day. Tomorrow look out for the Defence Forces Bands on Parade in Collins Barracks. Something completely different and suitable for all ages.
|
|
|
|
Next week a number of Bloomsfestival related events will happen and it all culminates in Bloomsday on Friday. A BUSY day for the Joyce fans, who dress up and pretend to follow the steps of Mr Bloom who is just an invention. Interestingly that day leaves non-Joyce enthusiasts completely cold. But, hey, that is the great thing about culture. Everybody CAN and nobody MUST do or follow or celebrate something.
|
 |
|
If anybody has a smart idea about how to get this flippin Event Guide finished at a decent time, while not interfering with my day job, PLEASE let me know. I am struggling. But I am not giving up yet. ;-)
|
|
Have a great weekend and don’t worry, despite most smart phones apps showing plenty of rain this weekend, this will not happen. There will be a bit, but not a lot and definitely not anywhere close to what most apps tell you! (I think would do a better job in forecasting the rain than getting a Dublin Event Guide finished at a decent time. :-D )

Donations in June:
EUR 122
|
|
(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! The great people who donated were Fernanda, Malachy, Lee. 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!
|
|
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.)

Please note: To speed up the creation of the weekday section of the Dublin Event Guide, I am experimenting with a few minor changes. One is that I am not adding the full address of the venue to all events anymore (for now). If you don’t know where the venue is, you will find it by checking the event link.

+++ UCD Festival
The UCD Festival is getting bigger and better every year and this year it will take place on Saturday 10 June. From 10:00-18:00 LOTS of events will take place on the UCD Belfield Campus in Dublin 4. There will be interesting talks, performances, music, food stalls, children entertainment and more. More than 20,000 visitors are expected.
The website at festival.ucd.ie lists all events, but says everywhere that registration is required. Oddly though, registration is not possible anywhere! This possibly means that all events are booked out. But since the event is free and people tend to take the showing up to free events a little more, hmmm, flexible, than if they have paid, you could wonder if walking in visitors would still get in as well. I don’t have an answer for that, but since there is a Main Stage and a food village, I expect that even without registration there might be SOMETHING to do for you.
If you prefer a PDF version of the programme, you can get it here festival.ucd.ie/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/UCD-Festival-2023-Programme.pdf

+++ 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! :-)
