Dublin Event Guide 773: Last Week of Summer – Use it! – Peoples’ Photography Exhibition, Ukulele Hooley, Dalkey Lobster Festival, Eatyard Craft Market

August 27th, 2022

Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)

Last Week of Summer – Use it!

Peoples’ Photography Exhibition, Ukulele Hooley, Dalkey Lobster Festival, Eatyard Craft Market

Good Morning!

Wasn’t that a good summer?! We are (hopefully) all aware of the problems that the climate crisis and the increase of temperature will cause worldwide. And the mad heat waves in Spain and Italy and even further north were a strong indicator this year that something is up.

Oddly, though, for us in Ireland an increase in the average temperature by a few degrees is a wonderful thing. And, wow, was that a good summer or what. We are now entering the last week of summer and the significantly shorter days leave no doubt where we are heading.

In the past though, Ireland always had a spell of really good weather in early September, so don’t write off the year yet.

The events in Dublin continue and hopefully your enjoyment of all that is happening is continuing too. Yes, there were a LOT less events this summer in comparison the years before the health crisis (Facebook still punishes posts that mention the C word. :-o so it is good to avoid it.). I am hopeful that this will only be reductions in the first year after the years with restrictions, but we will only know in the future.

Luckily there are some event organisers who battle on no matter what happens/happened! And this weekend will be the weekend of two of them: The Ukulele Hooley in Dun Laoghaire will take place on Sunday. And there is also the Dalkey Lobster Festival over the whole weekend. Dun Laoghaire and Dalkey, we are on our way! ;-)

Donations in September: 
EUR 135

(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.

The great people that donated last week were Marese and Frances! Thank you so much! Your donation will keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and will motivate me to continue week after week. I appreciate you and your support!

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. The first of those bonuses is described above.

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! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 3. 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!!
