Superheroes take over Dublin this July and August with lots of free events

The kids are going to love this!

With the summer holidays upon us, many parents will be planning summer camps and activities to keep the kids entertained over the next two months.

Saying that I know myself as a parent, that all of these events can be pricey and even more so if you have multiple children.

If you’re a parent in the process of planning the summer weeks away, you’re in luck because DublinTown has organised a whole host of events for kids and even better they’re FREE!

Taking place between 1 pm and 5 pm each Saturday, over eight consecutive weeks, families can enjoy activities such as face painting, music, superhero characters, balloons, giant games and a novelty photo booth and all for FREE.

As a special treat, there will be an outdoor cinema screening on August 10 on Wolfe Tone Square, screening some great family films that will be chosen by the public.

Speaking about the range of summer events available to the public Clyde Carroll, DublinTown’s Director of Marketing & Communications said

“Dublin City centre is always a hive of activity during the summer. Our goal with Summer in DublinTown is to bring good old-fashioned fun to the streets. It’s always great to see the streets of Dublin come alive with entertainment and Summer in DublinTown encourages a great sense of community amongst the local businesses and creates a welcoming environment for city centre visitors. I am especially looking forward to the free outdoor movie screening on Wolfe Tone Square on August 10th.”

The dates and locations for the Summer in DublinTown events are:

• Henry Street: July 13, 27 and August 10, 24
• Suffolk Street: July 20 and August 3rd, 17, 31
