A huge array of activities are planned over the course of the weekend including the arrival of 3 tall ships and four schooners which berth at North Wall Quay for the weekend. Dublin Bay Cruises St. Bridget will offer three three trips daily out into Dublin Bay and The Jeanie Johnson will once again be offering free tours over the course of the weekend. Dublin Tug Boats Shackleton & Beaufort’s Tug Boat Dances proved so popular last year and are back by public demand!

Not to be outdone by the water, land activities will also play a integral part to the festival, with street performers, music from shanty singers and a unique Irish/Nigerian band, bars, face painting and carnival attractions, children’s art & circus workshops. There will be pirate re-enactments all weekend, open air food and craft markets as well as exhibitions in the CHQ Building.
