About this event

Dublin City Council Liffey Festival brings together a fantastic programme of activities, performances, maritime experiences and family-friendly entertainment along the quays and on the river in the heart of Dublin.

Step aboard visiting ships, try a new sport, follow the historic Liffey Swim, join walking tours, discover the stories of the river, watch spectacular aerial and jet pack displays, enjoy live music and street theatre performances, and gather along the quays for Sunday’s Dublin City Council Liffey Festival Flotilla.

One of Dublin’s great sporting traditions will open Dublin City Council Liffey Festival on Saturday as the 106th Dublin City Council Dublin City Liffey Swim takes to the water.
