Festival of Inclusion – Connecting Communities
The Festival of Inclusion “Connecting Communities” is a festival to celebrate and promote the activities of community groups and volunteers in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown. This diverse festival will take place between 6th-14th October with exciting events such as the Community 5k run, The Big Sing which includes a live orchestra in the heart of dlr town, and The Mountains to the Sea Downhill Challenge, a spectacular family friendly community walk following the new route of the Dublin Mountain Way.
In addition to the numerous events, there will be the chance to visit the annual art exhibition which will display the tremendous work by dlr’s network of volunteers and community organisations who strive to address disadvantage and marginalisation.
If you would like more information about all the events and see the brochure, please download here.
