World
famous for its ‘craic’, Dublin should be on everyone’s list of places to visit
before they die. And even if you’ve been before, this city that combines old
and new so beautifully, is well worth returning to again and again, especially
in the summer when it’s alive with special events and festivals. The Travelodges in
Dublin are a great base for exploring this fantastic, welcoming town.
Taste of Dublin: 12th-15th
June
The
perfect special treat for the gourmet in your life, this boutique style festival
devoted to all things delicious, is held in the lovely green surroundings of
Iveagh Gardens. Twenty of the town’s best restaurants will be showcasing their
wares alongside countless producers.
Dublin LGBTQ Pride
Festival: 14th -24th June
Dublin’s
annual gay pride festival culminates in a huge, colourful parade that’s a
brilliant spectacle to take part in or just watch from the sidelines. In fact,
it’s become such a massive event that it’s second only to the St Patrick’s Day
parade in size.
Street Performance
World Championship: 11th-13th July
The
great thing about being on holiday is that you have time to stop and look at
things that interest you as you wander around. So if you’re in Dublin in July,
you’ll have plenty of time to stand and marvel at the myriad talented
performers at this free festival in Merrion
Square.
Longitude
Massive
Attack, Rudimental and Bastille are just some of the acts headlining at this
year’s Longitude festival in Marlay Park on the outskirts of Dublin. There’s no
camping so you don’t need to feel guilty about heading to a nice clean hotel
bed at the end of the night.
