Capel Street is set to host a fun family day out to mark its new status as one of the coolest streets in the world.
The inner city thoroughfare will host a family friendly celebration on September 25, with entertainment including Giant Jenga, face painting and stilt-walkers on offer. Children will be invited to draw on the street with chalk as part of an effort to make the area a vibrant kaleidoscope of colour.
Dublin’s Lord Mayor Caroline Conroy said the day promised to show off the huge potential Capel Street has to offer the wider Dublin population. She encouraged people to attend the day out, which is free of charge and open to all ages.
