Rose Festival 2023, Fundrum, Creative Child and Family Fun Day
|
|
|
|
Hi!!
|
|
This week is the week of the Rose Festival in St. Ann’s park. It is one of these reliable yearly festivals in Dublin that is suitable for the whole family and – when the weather is nice – is packed with people, old and young, who enjoy the time out in a nice park, the flowers, the food, the music and the market stalls.
|
|
A great and super popular festival that will probably suffer from the wet-ish weekend this year, but try Saturday after 15:00 and Sunday before 15:00 and you should get some dry hours and for the rest of the time, just bring a big umbrella.
|
|
|
|
The Rose Festival is really great and luckily it is still taking place, because it also reminds us of lots of other festivals that once were organised or co-organised by Dublin City, but that have disappeared.
|
 |
|
The Viking Festival is gone, the Kite Festival isn’t anymore, the Busker Fleadh is over, Pets in the City has disappeared, the Wood Quay Summer Sessions or cancelled. – What is going on? Does Dublin City Council just not care anymore about Dublin? Why are they killing all these events?
|
|
And do you remember the City Spectacular (a.k.a Street Performance World Championship), Kings of Conrete, Hotter than July, Bluefire Street Fest, Dublin City Soul Festival? They were not organised by Dublin City, but were heavily supported/sponsored. All of them are gone too! And NO efforts were made to replace them with other events.
|
|
Despite the weather, go and enjoy the Rose Festival, because who knows if Dublin City Council will kill that too very soon.
|
|
|
|
Donations in July:
EUR 88
|
|
(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: Louise, P, Sinead, Kiera, Patrick and Liza ! 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.)
|
|
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!!

And the free events for next week….
|
|
|
|
|
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.

+++ 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! :-)
