Party in the Park - One World, Many Stories
Saturday 25 & Sunday 26 May | 11am - 5pm
We had such fun with our Party in the Park last year that guess what… we’re having another one and you’re invited! So please join us in St. Patrick’s Park, one of Dublin’s loveliest open spaces. Enjoy The Supertones Choir, street theatre, music, storytelling, readings, face painting, balloon modelling, clown capers, comedy, music and lots more! Join in workshops in animation & cartoons, arts & crafts, or just drop by and have fun with traditional games and comedy!
