Culture of aPeople LA CULTURA DE UN PUEBLO

Culture of Dublin Dublin has always been the cultural centre of Ireland and one of the significant places in Europe in this aspect. It is notorious for the bright figures in the fields of art and especially literature that were born or worked here. Let us just mention a few names – George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde and Jonathan Swift. The exuberant capital of Ireland is very rich in festivals and street celebrations of different kinds, including dance, film, art festivals, food and fun fairs and many, many others. The most splendid and colourful event in early spring is the celebration of St Patrick’s Day, dedicated to the national patron saint. If you happen to sojourn in Dublin in the end of April and beginning of May, pay attention to the triumph of beauty and excitement, called Dublin Dance Festival.

For a week or so, thousands gather in the city centre to admire the art of contemporary dance performers from all parts of the globe. A must for fans of classical music is the Handel Festival, carried out annually in honour of the great German composer, narrowly connected with Dublin. One of the more unusual events is the biggest Irish food festival, named Taste of Dublin. Within four days each summer the most prestigious restaurants and the most renowned cooks in the city deliver immense culinary pleasure to more than 30,000 gourmets in the romantic ambience of Iveagh Gardens.
