About this event

Culture Date with Dublin 8 returns this May with over 100 events celebrating the city’s culture and community. Explore Songlines of the City and Gulliver 300, and experience Dublin 8 through music, history, and imagination.

Culture Date with Dublin 8 returns from 4th -10th May with a vibrant week-long programme of over 100 events celebrating the culture, history, and community spirit of the area.

This year’s festival is shaped by two themes: Songlines of the City, inviting audiences to explore Dublin 8 through memory, movement and imagination, and Gulliver 300, marking the 300th anniversary of Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels.

From talks, tours and exhibitions to live music, performance and the Late in D8 programme, which animates the neighbourhood after dark, the festival opens up iconic and unexpected spaces, inviting audiences to discover Dublin 8 in new and inspiring ways.
