College Green and Dame Street are to be traffic-free on 7 August as the city hosts a family friendly Summer Sunday Event from noon to 4pm, with plenty of fantastic carnival inspired activities that the whole family can enjoy.
The move means that bus stops as well as taxi ranks will be diverted for the day to ensure the areas remain without any car traffic. According to a statement from Dublin City Council, the event will also give families a chance to ride on an antique carousel and attend circus skills workshops, with performers, stilt walkers, and jugglers also expected to be there on the day.
There will also be face painting and outdoor furniture to relax. Lord Mayor of Dublin Caroline Conroy welcomed the upcoming event, saying: "Summer Sunday will be an unmissable occasion to see and appreciate College Green and Dame Street in a whole new light with no traffic.
