Dún Laoghaire / Howth, Tuesday 17th March

Are you looking for something different to do this St Patrick’s Day? Why not take steps for mental health!

Join us at the 19th annual Aware Harbour2Harbour Walk (proudly supported by Dublin Port) on St Patrick’s Day, Tuesday 17th March 2026. An official event of St Patrick’s Festival, the walk welcomed over 3,000 enthusiastic participants last year, and we’re hoping to make 2026 even bigger, with even more people taking on the 26km route. Walkers can start from either Howth Harbour or Dún Laoghaire Harbour and finish at the opposite harbour. You can choose which harbour you start or finish at and don’t worry, you can change your starting point on the day!

The walk is suitable for most fitness levels, and there’s no pressure to complete the full distance – you decide what works best for you. Enjoy stunning views of Dublin Bay along the route, and be sure to stop by the Halfway Hooley at our temporary new location in EastPoint Business Park for refreshments and entertainment. We’ve moved the Hooley this year due to development works in Dublin Port.

All participants will receive an event t-shirt which can be collected on the day at the start of the walk. If you have taken part before and still have your t-shirt, we would encourage you to wear it this year too.

National Botanic Gardens

Before the first song, the garden remembered everything.... Orpheus is a plant hunter who charms the trees with his song. Eurydice, a mycologist whose voice carries deep into the earth. Charon, a liminal figure, keeper of thresholds, compost, and change. In this fresh reimagining of the Orpheus myth, music, ecology, and ancient storytelling entwine in the living landscape of Ireland’s National Botanic Gardens. Audiences follow Glasnevin’s garden-path of love and loss, curiosity and consequence, guided by musicians, children’s choirs and some unexpected creatures. From sunlit law
