Rathmines Festival This Weekend
Brandon | April 18, 2008The Rathmines Festival kicked off on the 14th of this month and will pick up again today, finishing late on Sunday night. The festival features a variety of events, workshops, and galleries, all happening along Rathmines Road (Upper and Lower) just south of Grand Canal. Most events are free and those that come with a price tag (like some music performances) never rise above a tenner. Dance, theatre, literature, music, photography, film, sports, history – there really does seem to be something for just about everyone!
For more, including a downloadable schedule, surf over to the festival website at www.RathminesFestival.com. Alternatively, the good folks at Cafe Moda have agreed to allow the use of their coffee shop as the festival club house, so if you happen to be in the area, stop by for brochures, booking, or any other information.
The folks at Cafe Moda are indeed good. It was my birthday last Monday (14th) and I happened to be in there on Sunday night with a few friends. After midnight my friends sang happy birthday and the staff came over and gave me a slice of banoffi with a nightlight candle lit on the side of the plate. Isn’t that so cool. I was really impressed. Its the little things …
Well, Happy Birthday, Dervla! (Albeit, quite belated.)
