The timing couldn’t be better.  With the recent financial rollercoaster leading to the constant up and down of the stock market, this weekend’s event in Dublin’s Emerald Glen Park is just what the doctor ordered.  The annual festivities held at Emerald Glen Park at the corner of Tassajara Road and Gleason Drive in Dublin kicks off on Saturday morning at 10AM.  The free event includes activities for the children age 12 and under (including a petting Zoo, Face Painting, Balloon Animals and more) while the older children can watch the skateboarding demonstrations or participate in the skateboarding competition held on Sunday.

Last year, more than 16,000 people attended the event celebrating Dublin’s 25th anniversary.  Hoping to draw more people this year, the theme is a global one introducing the attendees to many different cultures from around the world.  The shows scheduled include different dances from Irish, Indian, Brazilian, Chinese and West African groups to name a few.

A special concert is planned for Saturday night at 6pm where, Pete Esovedo, will be performing.  This is a great, free event you should take advantage of this weekend.
