Dublin City Sport & Wellness Partnership is bringing back Dublin SportsFest for 2025. Dublin SportsFest will take place from 23rd – 30th September coinciding with the European Week of Sport. The purpose of Dublin SportsFest is to host a week-long celebration of sport and physical activity in our city and to enable and encourage people to participate regardless of age, ability or background.

There will be 60+ events and activities available which are mostly free of charge and the list will be eclectic to say the least. There is everything from football, swimming, kayaking, cycling, tennis and fitness classes to lesser known sports such as Pickelball.

We will also be linking in with pre-existing events and initiatives such as parkrun which DCSWP and DCC have supported since its inception.

Dublin SportsFest is a hugely powerful initiative to drive participation in within Dublin City.
