Dublin Event Guide 982: Reality Returns – People’s Photography Exhibition, K-Pop Family Fun Day, Digital Hub Flea Market

Reality Returns

People’s Photography Exhibition, K-Pop Family Fun Day, Digital Hub Flea Market

Hi!!

And just like that, normal Irish life is returning. The rain is back with enthusiasm, schools are starting again and the wonderfully quiet summer traffic is about to become a distant memory. I never quite understand where all those extra cars suddenly come from, but apparently they have spent July and August hiding somewhere waiting for the school gates to reopen.

The weather this week has also been a reminder that summer is coming to an end. Heavy rain, flooding in places and enough grey skies to make good waterproofs an essential part of the wardrobe again. I had heard that a strong El Niño could mean an especially wet and stormy winter for Ireland, but apparently the science is not nearly that straightforward. So I won’t blame El Niño yet. Irish weather is perfectly capable of causing trouble all by itself. ;-)

Q-Park

There is something much better on the horizon, though: Culture Night is back on Friday 18 September and the programme is now available. This is one of the biggest free cultural nights of the year and definitely one to plan ahead for. Some events require pre-booking and the popular ones can fill quickly, so don’t wait until Culture Night itself before deciding what you want to do. Have a look now and grab the bookings you need. https://culturenight.ie/

And once the darker and wetter months arrive, getting out becomes even more important. Buy the rain jacket, find the sturdy umbrella and don’t let bad weather turn the sofa into your permanent winter residence. Dublin’s events don’t stop because summer is over and neither should we.

As always, I do the searching. You just have to decide where to go. First week of September is always a good bit lighter in events, but there is still enough to do, at least this weekend.

Let’s see what’s on this week.

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 https://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. https://www.youtube.com/@JoergSteegmueller

Donations in September:
EUR 56

(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.

Thanks to Sarah, Stephanie, Emma, Fiona, Stephen and Frank for your donations! We made it once again! And we have a good start for September! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help!

If you can and if the Dublin Event Guide helps you, please “help back” with a donation. Thank you!

To keep the Dublin Event Guide going, I will find the events and you will need to help with the bills. None of the donations will go to me, it will all go to the Dublin Event Guide cost. The total cost per month is quite low at just EUR 200 per month, but we need to cover this monthly amount through donations to keep the Dublin Event Guide alive.

If the Dublin Event Guide saves you some time searching for events or has introduced you to events you would otherwise not have found, then please help to keep it coming every week.

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: https://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 http://www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb or now also https://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 https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG

And there is one other way to help and it is even free: If you come to http://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!!
