DLR Festival of World Cultures – August 29th and 30th, 2009

Today is the first day of the 2-day DLR Festival of World Cultures in Dublin.

Festival of World Cultures

The festival is an annual event full of colorful stages with performers from all over the world. There are always many interesting performances, both free and available for a small fee, and every day there is a lot more going on – you can learn more by attending a storytelling session or pick up some unusual art like African hair braiding or drum making or some form of dance.

Particularly popular are fairs and markets set up for the duration of the festival – a great chance to explore the art and food from many countries.

Oxegen 2009

Just two weeks from now, Ireland will host the most exciting rock & roll weekend in Europe – Oxegen 2009!

Oxegen music festival

Oxegen is a top class music festival, held every summer in Puncherstown (Naas, County Kildare) since 2004. Although a very young event compared to some other festivals, Oxegen is already one of the most popular and eagerly awaited performance for rock fans all over Europe.

Oxegen 2009 festival will take place during the weekend of July 10th through July 12th.

Oxegen camping

Oxegen’s campsites willl open at 12 noon on Thursday 9th July 2009 to providing various camping facilities to all the fans until the end of the festival. Camping areas will stay open 24 hours every day until 6pm on Monday 13th July.

Campsites correspond to different car parks, so if you plan on camping it probably makes sense to stay in a campsite closer to your car park. The car park pass does not guarantee the camping site preference though, so be sure to arrive early or you will be placed to the camping site available at the time of your arrival, and not necessarily the one closest to your car park.
