Stokerland FunFair, South William Market, Nightwatch Bram Stoker Installation, Halloween Events

 

 

Hi all!

Halloween week is coming up! :-) When I grew up, Halloween didn’t exist yet in Germany. It has change d a lot since, but somehow I am still “suffering” ;-) from my childhood and Halloween doesn’t mean that much to me. What does Halloween mean to you? Is it the good memories of “Trick or Treat” goodies? Or do you love dressing up?
Well, if you are in Dublin for Halloween, you can certainly get LOTS of Halloween-related fun. I will list a good few things in this week’s Dublin Event Guide list. But since Halloween is not until Thursday, come back to the website at www.dublineventguide.com in a few days!

Thanks a lot for your support last week, if I could get that much support every week, I would be very very happy. Remember, it doesn’t cost you a cent and only takes 30 seconds of your time and it keeps the Dublin Event Guide going. And I made the instructions a bit clearer!!

This is how the support works and it is super easy:
Just go to www.DublinEventGuide.com and at the top you will find the sentence “Is this what you were looking for?”. Right below that sentence you should find a rectangular ad. Please click on it!
The ad might change every time you open/refresh the page, so I can’t tell you what it is promoting and if you don’t see an ad there, please turn your Ad Blocker off and refresh the page and then do the clicking. ;-) If you click on the ad, I get between 5 and 30 cent. That is not much, but if enough people help, it will do the job to cover the cost to keep the Dublin Event Guide going. Thanks! :-) Some people have asked me for the Dublin Event Guide PayPal link for direct donations and here it is: www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide

And now we come to some of this weekend’s free events. All events are sorted by start time, but watch out for the few events that have a “++” in front of them, the are particularly recommended. ;-) ALL events in this list are free, but some require booking! The market events that take place every week are only posted on the website at www.dublineventguide.com
