Hi!!
|
|
A few years ago, the Dublin Event Guide posts on Facebook reached more than 20,000 people every week. It was an amazing way to keep you informed about all the free cultural events happening across the city. But over time things have changed dramatically. Now, that reach has dropped to under 2,000 some weeks – not because interest has waned, but because Facebook’s algorithms have made it nearly impossible to reach you without paying. That’s not sustainable for a spare-time project like this one that exists purely for the community.
|
|
This change is frustrating. It means many of you are missing out, even though you’ve followed the page and want the updates.
|
|
|
|
The Dublin Event Guide has never been about clicks or advertising – it’s about bringing people together and helping everyone discover the cultural riches of Dublin without spending a cent. But if the message can’t get through, then what’s the point of shouting into the void?
|
|
So I am seriously considering stopping the weekly Facebook post. It no longer does what it used to and is wasted effort. Instead, I strongly encourage every reader to sign up for the weekly e-mail newsletter. It’s free, it’s consistent and it actually reaches you. No algorithms, no games. Just a dependable list of great things to do, right in your inbox.
|
|
You can sign up at getthislink.com/DEGSignup And if you’re already subscribed, maybe pass the word on to someone who’s still relying on Facebook to find out what’s on. Let’s keep this community thriving in a way that’s not controlled by platforms but powered by people who care about culture, connection and community.
|
 |
|
If you have friends or family or colleagues that also enjoy cultural events in Dublin, let them know that they can sign up for the free weekly Dublin Event Guide newsletter at getthislink.com/DEGSignup

The working title for my video series on YouTube is the “Better You” videos, they are all about 5-7 minute long about how to better your life. Check out this video series if you want to achieve more in life, but are talking yourself out of it. www.youtube.com/@JoergSteegmueller

|
Donations in October:
EUR -90
|
|
(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.
|
|
|
|
This week the wonderful people who helped with donations were Catherine and Katherine. Thank you so so much!
|
|
I was hoping that we would make it in September and reach the EUR 200. But we are far away from it. It has been a feature in 2025 that it was much harder to reach the money to pay the bill than in previous years and maybe there is a message in that??? I have to admit that I get a little disheartened when I spend around 48 hours in a month to find free events for you and on top of that the money is short to pay the bills.But I also have huge hope and trust in you, the wonderful Dublin Event Guide community.
|
|
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.

+++ NFL in Dublin
The American NFL will be in Dublin this weekend with the American Football Game Minnesota Vikings vs Pittsburgh Steelers. The game will take place on Sunday at 14:30 in Croke Park and close to 76,000 tickets have been sold. But if you have between 240 and 475 Euro in loose change, you can still buy one of the last few tickets. nfl.tmtickets.ie/Events
There will be lots of NFL supporters in Dublin and for all the Pittsburgh Steelers Fans, a Tailgate event and a public viewing is organised in Merrion Square.
The Steelers Tailgate event on Saturday (10:00-19:00) will bring Steelers alumni and guest appearances, live music & on-stage entertainment, football activities, tailgate games, & photo opportunities and food and beverages. Admission is free, but tickets are required. www.eventbrite.ie/e/1622930662299
On Sunday a public viewing of the match will happen in Merrion Square from 14:30. But from 10:00-18:00 there will be more on-stage entertainment, football activities, tailgate games & photo opportunities and food and beverages. Again admission is free, but tickets are required: www.eventbrite.ie/e/1622930662299
|
|
+++ POSITIVE AGEING WEEK
Positive Ageing Week will take place from Fri 26 Sept until Friday 03 Oct. The number of events listed at positiveageingweek.com/events/ is not really impressive. And the event list and individual event listings are definitely not made for elderly people. If you have to check three pages for each event until you have gathered all the relevant details then something is wrong.
|
|
+++ BUZZFEST Phibsborough
Next weekend on Sat 04 October from 12:30-16:00 a Community, Sustainability & Biodiversity Festival called “BuzzFest” will take on Phibsborough. If you are interested, check out the details at www.phibsboro.com/buzzfest/ Phibsboro Library & Gardens and the Panama Scout Hall (off North Circular Road at Blacquire Bridge) are the venues for the event. There will be talks and workshops and a Repair Shop and also stalls and top of it all music and food and entertainment. Registration is required for talks and workshops, so check out the website.
|
|
+++ Sculpture in Context Exhibition
The brilliant “Sculpture in Context” exhibition is returning to the National Botanic Gardens. In its 40th year, the exhibition will run from 04 Sept until 10 Oct.
For this special exhibition, big sculptures will be set up right in the middle of the Botanic Gardens, surrounded by vibrant plants and gorgeous natural views. Entry to the National Botanic Gardens – and the Sculpture in Context exhibition – is free every day. sculptureincontext.ie/
|
|
+++ Sustainable Development Goals Week
South Dublin County Council are running a “Sustainable Development Goals Week” in the SDCC Libraries and other venues from 19-28 September. The events are listed at www.sdcc.ie/en/events/ A selection of events are included in the listings above, the complete list can be found via the link.
|
|
+++ Dublin City Council Culture Company
Every week, the Dublin City Council Culture Company organises cultural events in venues in Dublin. They are events in addition to the normal events in museums, galleries and other venues. All events are free, but access is by registration only. And these events are POPULAR!! So when I get to checking them out on the Friday before they take place, the most interesting ones are usually already booked out. If you are interested, check them out here cultureclubdublin.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows (This week you only see a few, because every month a new batch is uploaded not in a rolling way, but in a month by month way.)

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! :-)
