|
Hi!!
|
|
I am wishing you a happy bank holiday weekend! And what a weekend this will be. The weather will be amazing from the start to the end, with a promising forecast of 19 degrees on Monday. And there will be lots of events as well!
|
|
The June Bank Holiday weekend is actually the best of the bank holiday weekend for events. So don’t get stuck at home, but explore Dublin and all it has to offer.
|
|
|
|
One of the big events that was a yearly event on the June Bank Holiday weekend was the Dublin Port Riverfest, but that unfortunately seems to be gone. However we do have this year Revealing Grangegorman, the Balbriggan Summerfest, the Normandy Food Tour and the Dalkey Vintage Car Festival.
|
|
Busy for a bank holiday weekend! But come back next week, because things get EVEN better in the “free events world”.

Thanks for your votes on my question about the College Green Traffic. 89% of people were pleased that College Green is not accessible for all vehicles anymore. So that is clear result. 55% thought that it is ok to ban cars but not busses and taxis. And only 50% wanted an all-vehicles ban. So based in this vote, I am wrong and Dublin City got it right.
|
|
By the way, I know that I could have offered a lot more options in the questionnaire, but it was intended to just get an impression of opinion, not to do a formal survey (Dublin City doesn’t care about the outcome anyway.) I got some mails from people about it and I will reply, but didn’t get a chance yet.

++ Can Sport & Culture help us fight racism and understand migration issues?
Thu 08 June – 18:30 – EPIC, chq Building, Custom House Quay, Dublin 1 – Adm: Free
EPIC & the French National Museum of the History of Immigration, in association with the French Embassy in Ireland, have developed a unique collaboration to change the way we look at racism.
As part of this cooperation, we invite you to a discussion between the 1998 FIFA World Cup Champion and anti-racism campaigner Lilian Thuram and the Irish-Nigerian poet and editor Chiamaka Enyi-Amadi to better understand contemporary issues related to migration and to deconstruct a few preconceived ideas.
In France, for almost a century, the histories of sport, diversity and immigration have intersected and intertwined. These interconnected stories, marked by great success also highlight issues of racism and stigmatisation. How can we analyse them? How can we put them into perspective?
Find out more and book tickets via: epicchq.com/event/can-sport-culture-help-us-fight-racism-and-understand-migration-issues/

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.

+++ Take 1 Ingredient – Meet nice people over chats about food!
“Take 1 Ingredient” is a new idea that is being put in the community in conjuction with NEIC, Dublin City Council and Mud Island Community Garden. Every first Sunday of the month at 13:30, meet at the Ambassador Theatre with a resident of the North East Inner City (NEIC) area and a volunteer who has come to introduce you to one ingredient from their home style of cooking. Walk to a nearby store, buy the ingredient and then walk to Mud Island Community Garden for a tea/coffee, a chat and share of the ingredients bought to take home and try out a recipe. The idea is to promote intercultural conversation through food. Sounds like a great idea!
Unfortunately I have no event link, but give it a go, it could turn out great.

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! :-)
