Dublin Event Guide 899: Busy is back! – Tradfest 2025, Lunar New Year Festival, St. Brigit Day
Busy is back!
|
|
Tradfest 2025, Lunar New Year Festival, St. Brigit Day
|
|
|
|
Hi!!
|
|
We survived another super storm and for some it was truly frightening.
|
|
For the ESB employees throughout the country it was and still is a major pain and when I saw on the ESB Powercheck website that the whole country is covered in blue circles (which represent electrical faults) I felt a renewed admiration for their hard work.
|
|
No matter how many storms batter the country and no matter how many hundreds of thousands of households are without power, they work like mad to get power restored as fast as humanly possible.
|
|
|
|
So thanks to all the people that keep our society going. That is in this case the ESB emergency workers, but throughout the whole year it includes nurses and doctors, transport workers, security workers, workers in the service industries and all other people that work long hours, night shifts and that have an increased amount of workload/stress and other additional unusual challenges.
|
|
In the cultural events world, we have a very busy week in Dublin. Busy is coming back and I hope you will get a chance to explore Dublin’s cultural scene again.
|
 |
|
I am not sure if you sometimes check the banner of this Dublin Event Guide. If you do this week, you will see that this is the 899th edition of the Dublin Event Guide. :-o So net week will the the 900th “anniversary”. It would be nice to do something different/special, but I can’t think of what the best way to celebrate would be. Now I am looking to you to help me with suggestions. If you read this on Facebook, let me know below. If you read this in your Inbox, just reply to the mail and tell me what would be the best way to celebrate these 900 editions.

Donations in January:
EUR 189
|
|
(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.
|
|
|
|
Last week nobody donated, but we are very very close to the monthly requirement of raising EUR 200 to pay the bills (for website, e-mail sending, software tools etc). Who can help to get us over the line and then also already help with the February bills?
Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and it is truly a wonderful group of people who help keeping the Dublin Event Guide going. Join this exclusive group! Without donations to pay the bills I will not be able to continue.
|
|
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!!

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! :-)

+++ IKEA Crafting / Music / Cooking Workshops
