Dublin City Council We Love July

Dublin City Council We Love July

About the event

Four Saturdays. Four Events. In the Heart of Dublin City. Dublin City Council is inviting people of all ages to experience Dublin City Council We Love July, a programme of four free events celebrating Dublin's culture, imagination, heritage and community spirit.

Taking place across four Saturdays in July from 12 noon to 6pm, Dublin City Council We Love July will transform four of the city's most iconic public spaces into vibrant hubs of music, performance, storytelling, art, play and discovery, creating unforgettable days out for families, friends and communities across Dublin City.

Each event reflects a different aspect of life in Dublin, from play and participation to creativity, culture and the stories and voices that connect our communities.

Join us on Saturday 25 July in Fairview Park with Heart of Movement, highlighting the energy, activity and sporting spirit that runs through Dublin's communities. Showcasing the many ways people connect through sport, recreation and movement, the event will promote wellbeing, active lifestyles and opportunities for people of all ages to get involved. Full programme details below.

From toddlers discovering their first puppet show, to teenagers trying virtual reality, to friends enjoying live performances together, and older generations sharing memories and experiences, Dublin City Council We Love July has been designed to ensure there is truly something for everyone.
