Top Events This Summer
Summer is just around the corner and with the events calendar jam-packed this year, we decided to put together Lynk’s top events to look out for over the coming months.
Sunday Markets
The People’s Park plays host to one of the best food markets in the country every Sunday from 11-4pm, and with Summer fast approaching it is the perfect way to end your week. From hand picked berries, to slow cooked BBQ, there is something for everyone here and you will also find non food-related services such as a bicycle repair stand for any punctures that need fixing!
The Ball – 28th April
Dublin’s first ever student only festival takes place on the 28th of April in the fantastic location of Dun Laoghaire Harbour and will play host to some amazing acts such as Gavin James, Klangkarussell and Hare Squead as well as a foodyard and funfair!
Lynk are delighted to be partnering with this event as the official taxi partner, with our newly acquired Blackrock fleet ready to get the masses from the event to the Official after parties in the City Centre. Keep an eye on our social media over the coming week, if you’re attending The Ball, as will be giving out a dedicated discount code in the days leading up to the festival.
Docklands Summer Festival – 20th & 21st May
This free festival set in the the city centre returns for another year with activities such as wakeboarding, raft races, floating gold challenge and the Docklands World Famous Rubber Ducky Race! This one of a kind festival based around the docklands in Dublin is like no other and is well worth the trip in.

Battle for the Bay – 28-28th May
The 10th anniversary of Ireland’s premier watersports festival takes place on Dollymount Beach and continues to be a fantastic summer day out. With live music, a kids and food village, beach volleyball, stand-up paddle boarding and windsurfing competitions and much more taking place over the two days, this is a perfect day out with something to please everyone in the family.
Forbidden Fruit – 3-5th June
Forbidden Fruit has quietly been building a very impressive festival over the last few years and they have stepped up their game once again this year. With the likes of Orbital, Bon Iver and Aphex Twin performing in the beautiful grounds of Kilmainham Gaol, you will be hard pressed to find a festival this good so close to the city centre, and the best thing about it is you’re only a quick Lynk taxi away from continuing the after party in your favourite pub!
Bloomsday Festival – 11-16th June
The annual Bloomsday Festival celebrates the 16th of June 1904, the day depicted in James Joyce’s novel, Ulysses. During this day it is not unusual to see Dubliners walking around dressed up as characters from the book and reading excerpts from the famed novel. With the full programme set to be released soon, keep any eye on their website for updates.
