The festival

A city-wide celebration of inclusion

Dublin City Council's yearly festival for the people and groups who make the city a place where everybody belongs. In 2026: 21–31 May, more than 120 free events, almost all of them run by local community groups.

What the festival sets out to do

  1. Celebrate the people already making Dublin more inclusive.
  2. Give visibility to communities that face barriers to city life.
  3. Encourage more people to get involved in their own area.

“Celebrating Dublin means celebrating every person, every voice, every story, and every community that makes our city so special.”

— Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Ray McAdam
