DUN LAOGHAIRE OUR TOWN

DÚN LAOGHAIRE – OUR TOWN
With a historical pier, a vibrant port, many parks and open space plazas, not to mention Teddy’s Ice Cream Parlour and the 40-foot – many things come to mind when you think of the vibrant seaside town of Dún Laoghaire.

Historically, the port of Dún Laoghaire was viewed as the final point of departure for people who emigrated from Ireland. Fast-forward to the 21st Century and the heritage of Dún Laoghaire as Ireland’s cultural port is still significant as it plays host to the dlr Festival of World Cultures, the summer’s biggest multicultural world music celebration.

Lying just 12 kilometres south of Dublin city and easily accessible by public transport, Dún Laoghaire has a plethora of thriving restaurants, cafes, pubs, clubs and venues. For further information on Dún Laoghaire visit: www.dlrtourism.com

For 3 celebratory days in July ( 23rd, 24th & 25th), Dún Laoghaire becomes ‘your town’ as you enjoy ‘your Festival’. So please enjoy it responsibly and treat Dún Laoghaire and its residents with special consideration and appreciation for letting us all have a giant global gathering on their doorstep!

To help ensure the Festival’s continued success and for the purpose of everyone’s enjoyment over the weekend, please support us by informing yourself of the following:

Alcohol Consumption
It is not permitted to drink alcohol on unlicensed premises and every effort will be made by the organisers and the Garda Síochána to enforce this by-law. This includes the following venues: Newtownsmith Main Stage, People’s Park, Harbour Plaza and the Pier. In addition it is illegal to drink alcohol on the streets by day or night.

‘Anti Social’ Behaviour
Please don’t be loud and disorderly. When leaving licensed premises at night, do so in a responsible manner. Rowdy congregations (no matter how much fun you are having!) late at night do us no favours. Respect that the Festival takes place in a residential town. Anti social behaviour will put the future of the Festival in jeopardy.

Recycling and Litter
The Festival works hard to manage the litter issue over the weekend, however, we need your help to keep this under control. With 180,000 people disposing of waste it is a massive undertaking to keep Dún Laoghaire tidy. Support us in our effort to reduce waste. We ask you to please never leave rubbish behind you. If there is no bin near you, or if the nearest bin is full, please hold on to your rubbish until you see one – recycling bins are provided, be responsible and use them.

Illegal Trading
Please be aware that it is illegal to trade or busk throughout the Festival site without a permit. For further information please see Markets Traders or Busking.
