It may have been pay day yesterday, but chances are you’re still spending averse.
If that’s the case, then look no further than these awesome free events that are happening around Dublin this weekend. There’s trad music, Chinese art, walks, markets and a petting zoo. Definitely something different.
Go to Tradfest in Temple Bar
As well gigs by traditional musicians, there’s something for everyone. Kids can go to the petting zoo or play music at The Ark, there are family concerts on in Dublin City Hall in conjunction with the Chinese New Year Festival, and adults can go on the Tradfest music trail.

Listen to traditional music at the Banjo and Bovril Festival
Not technically in Dublin, but not far off. There will be live music sessions and lessons going on in the Harbour Bar today and tomorrow from 4pm.
Go on a guided tour of the Dublin Mountains
The group leaves from Bohernabreena tomorrow at 10am to walk alongside the Dodder and the reservoir.
You need to book ahead of time. Unfortunately, there are no dogs allowed.
If you can’t do the mountains, why not try some of these other great walks around Dublin.

There’s a craft and vintage market taking place today and after Saturday 12-6.
You can check out vintage clothes, vinyl records, retro furniture, contemporary crafts, bric-a-brac, jewellery, books and lots more.
