Made in Darndale took place last weekend and it was a huge success with music, colour, song, stories, and entertainers at the forefront of the fun event.
This is the second year the festival has been running and it seems to be the perfect way to kick off the summer season for the residents of Darndale.
Dr Jack Nolan, chair of the Darndale Economic and Social Plan implementation Oversight Group, said: "The Darndale Economic and Social Plan implementation oversight group was delighted with a festival programme which celebrated the area’s creativity.

"Most importantly of all, it showcased the bonds which tie the community together and make it such a special place.”
The Jerry Fish Electric Sideshow, CoisCéim Dance Theatre and Courtney’s Daredevil Circus were some of the entertainers at the event.
Local talent was also on show, which included the Voice of Darndale Choir, Sharyn Ward, Mark Flynn, Amber Kidd and the DanceX Youth Academy.
All events were free of charge and the festival was a Creative Places Darndale initiative, a three-year Arts Council project supported by Dublin City Council to incorporate arts into the daily life of Darndale.
The event was on soon after the 5K Fun Run which also took place in Darndale. Dr Jack said: “Following the success of the recent 5K fun run, it was wonderful to see another event which celebrated the superb community spirit of the people of Darndale."
