The newest Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events) below was posted on 24 October 2026:
Dublin Event Guide 990: Ten To Go – Stokerland, Macnas Parade, Halloween Events
Ten To Go
|
|
Stokerland, Macnas Parade, Halloween Events
|
|
|
|
Hi!!
|
|
This weekend we turn the clocks back again and get that rare gift of an extra hour. Unfortunately, we will then spend the next few months paying for it with evenings that seem to get dark shortly after lunch. ;-) Winter time is here.
|
|
And there are a few other countdowns happening as well. Halloween is only one week away and once that is over, we all know what happens next. The pumpkins disappear overnight, the Christmas decorations take complete control and it is one straight run towards the end of the year.
|
|
There is another countdown that caught me slightly by surprise this week: this is Dublin Event Guide No. 990. Only TEN more editions until No. 1,000. When I sent that first email to ten friends back in 2007, I definitely wasn’t thinking, “Only 999 more and we’ll really have something here.” ;-)
|
|
|
|
But we are not at 1,000 yet and Halloween isn’t here yet either, so no need to rush ahead. There are still events to discover this weekend and another full week of Dublin culture before the ghosts, witches and pumpkins take over.
|
|
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 October:
EUR 239
|
|
(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 Martina and Helen for your donations! I really appreciate your help! Every donation counts and even if it is just a few Euro. We have luckily reached the October , but next week is a new month, so please don’t let that hold you back, it would be SUPER if we already could work on the November target!
|
|
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!!

++ TIME CHANGE: Last night the time changed from summer time to winter time, so the clock was changed BACK.

And the free events for next week….
|
|
|
|
|
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.

Every Friday at 14:00 and every Saturday at 11:00 a guided tour of the National Photographic Archive Exhibition “The Day The World Rocked: Live Aid” will take place. Live Aid was a world wide event in 1985 when two concerts took place simultaneously in London and Philadelphia with the intention to collect money to feed the world. Many of the greatest Pop and Rock performers of the time took part, from Status Quo to Joan Baez, Queen to Phil Collins and U2 to Madonna. Discover images and stories from Live Aid donated by Bob Geldof to the National Library of Ireland.
The exhibition is in the National Photographic Archive at Meeting House Square in Temple Bar and it is open every day from 10:00-16:00. https://www.nli.ie/exhibitions-events/day-world-rocked-live-aid
