Dublin is alive with festivals, music, sports, and culture every month of the year. For groups, booking a private bus isn’t just about transport — it’s about turning every trip into part of the adventure.
Here’s your month-by-month guide to the top events and festivals in Dublin — and why traveling together by private bus makes them even better.
January – TradFest Temple Bar
Kick off the year with Ireland’s biggest celebration of traditional music. Crowds pack pubs, churches, and historic buildings in Temple Bar. A private bus keeps your group together, warm, and safe on late winter nights.
February – Dublin International Film Festival
Movie buffs can ride comfortably between screenings at cinemas across the city — from the Lighthouse Cinema in Smithfield to the Savoy on O’Connell Street.
March – St. Patrick’s Festival
Dublin’s most famous party: parades, concerts, and green everything. Avoid parking nightmares and ZTL zones by hiring a bus to drop your group near O’Connell Street or St. Stephen’s Green.
April – Dublin Dance Festival Preview Events
Experience modern dance in unique venues. Travel easily as a group from Dublin Castle to Project Arts Centre.
May – Bloom in the Park
Ireland’s top gardening festival transforms Phoenix Park. A bus keeps your group dry if there’s Irish drizzle, and carries picnic gear or purchases.
June – Taste of Dublin
Foodies can explore top chefs and pop-up restaurants in Merrion Square. With a bus, there’s no need to limit yourself—bring home local cheeses, jams, and more.
July – Longitude Festival
Groups heading to Marlay Park can avoid crowded shuttles and coordinate easily with private bus pick-up.
August – Dublin Horse Show
See world-class show jumping and Irish style at the RDS. A bus keeps everyone comfortable on summer days.
September – Dublin Fringe Festival
Explore cutting-edge theatre, music, and art across venues citywide—without worrying about taxis or last trains.
October – Bram Stoker Festival
Celebrate Dublin’s gothic history with night tours, costume parades, and eerie events. A private bus keeps the mood going after dark.
November – Guinness Cork Jazz Festival (easy day trip)
Your bus can whisk the group from Dublin to Cork and back to experience Ireland’s biggest jazz celebration.
December – Christmas Markets & Lights
Travel around Dublin’s festive light displays, Christmas markets, and even day trips to winter events in Wicklow.
