The main festival this week is obviously the St. Patrick’s Festival 2017 (16 Mar – 19 Mar) but there’s also a tasty sounding one in the Dublin Bay Prawn Festival 2017 (17 Mar – 19 Mar), if you feel like something fishy!
The gigs continue with the Gloaming in the NCH (still!) and also Joan As Police Woman & Benjamin Lazar Davis, Crayon Set (Whelans), Cat Power (Vicar Street), Damien Jurado (Pavilion) and of course the Young Blood ‘The Beats and Voices of Our Generation’ at the NCH.
The IMMA Collection Freud Project is a must see! National Gallery of Ireland has the ‘Beyond Caravaggio‘ until 14th May. Book now or feel awful silly!
