Dublin is home to several lush parks that provide an instant escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. As you sit on a bench and soak up the atmosphere, the trees will shelter you from the Irish drizzle, and during the summer months, you will be joined by many locals as they lap up the sunshine.
The mid-summer months also see another change in Dublin’s parks. The city itself quite literally jazzes up the parks by providing free music concerts in the city’s major parks. Many office workers will spend their lunch hour in such places as Merrion Square, Herbert Park, or the Civic Offices Park for a dose of jazz. Other parks in the suburbs like St Anne's Park in Raheny, Bushy Park in Terenure, and Sandymount Green will entertain the crowd with a variety of brass and swing bands.
Classical music and traditional Irish songs are also frequently performed during the summer programme as all tastes are diligently met. The concerts in the park are a great way for travellers to enjoy a good taste of Irish fun while also getting the opportunity to meet locals and fellow tourists alike with similar tastes as yours.
These concerts usually take place on Sunday afternoons and during Tuesday and Thursday lunchtimes during the months of June, July, and August. This combination of sunshine, music and friendly company is just one of the many aspects of Dublin that make it such a grand city to visit.
