Purple Flag – Alive After Five

This event has ended

Various Locations, Thursday 20th October - Sunday 23rd October

DublinTown in association with Dublin City Council have announced a four day celebration of Dublin City's Purple Flag status kicking off on October 20th each night between 5pm and 10pm. The four day celebration will be packed with free events on both sides of the city showcasing the best in culture, food, and music that Dublin has to offer. The two main events are:

  • Thursday 20th Oct 6pm @ Drury Street – Local business stalls, shops and businesses opening late, special offers, live busker performances street entertainment and much more
  • Saturday 22nd Oct 5pm @ Capel Street – Local business stall and a FREE outdoor movie screening of the original Ghostbusters movie (seats on a first come first serve basis and movie starts at 6pm)

Like the Blue Flag given to Ireland’s finest beaches and the Green Flag that flies in the most eco-friendly schools, the Purple Flag is an international accreditation scheme that honours excellence in the appeal and management of a town or city centre area after 5pm. Dublin is just one of 40 cities in Europe to be given the badge of honour.

Dublin City Centre’s Purple Flag is a cooperative process between DublinTown (and their member businesses), Dublin City Council, An Garda Síochána, Fáilte Ireland, the Local Community Safety Partnership and city transport providers including Dublin Bus.
