Bring your pooch along to PET-acular with the D.S.P.C.A and they can be the star of the ‘Scruffs Dog Show’, hang out in the King of Paws agility arena and set tails wagging in their very own photo shoot. The wonderful team at the D.S.P.C.A will have a vet on site to provide pet health advice. When we say fun for all the family we mean fun for ALL the family, including the 4-legged kind!
This year, organisers have created a dedicated international street food festival within Laya Healthcare’s City Spectacular called Just Eat Street. Devour over 25 different cuisines from around the world, enjoy music from international music acts, and play in the sunshine with friends. Just Eat will also provide a waiter service that will take and deliver food orders for festival-goers, so that they can just take a seat and enjoy the festivities!
A banquet for the brain, the ESB Spark Your Imagination area is a creative hub for children designed to inspire, educate and feed the imagination. Here you’ll find a feast for the senses with creative writing workshops from Fighting Words, fun and games from Imaginosity Dublin Children’s Museum, science and electricity shows from mad German scientist Doktor Kaboom and French wooden games from Festi-Jeux for all children to enjoy.
Laya healthcare will once again bring their ever-popular Kid’s Court to the family-loving festival, but this time it is even messier, meaner and more mischievous than ever! Children can put their parents on trial, who may be sentenced to a custard-pie-in-the-face or a bucket of iced water thrown as punishment.
Laya Healthcare’s City Spectacular will take place from July 8th – 10th in Dublin’s Merrion Square and July 16th and 17th in Cork’s Fitzgerald Park
