Meet-up @ the Festival of World Cultures, weekend of 29th and 30th of August

**sweet-rasmus** · 09-08-2009, 12:12

So! I know that a lot of you have not been to this festival in Dun Laoghaire before. Plenty of events are on with lots and lots of food stalls lining the streets. They close off the street running along the sea from the DART to the People's Park and there is always a great atmosphere. There's a big concert going on at Newtownsmith Green (the green area between the DART and Sandycove). It's on Saturday and Sunday, so we could pick a day that suits most. And it better be sunny! It rained an awful lot at last year's one...
