Audio Guide
Dublin's most famous park is steeped in history. It started life as common ground, not far from a lepers' hospital, and was eventually enclosed in 1664. The site of public hangings throughout the 18th century, it was not until Lord Ardilaun's patronage in 1880 that the park took on the landscaped form that we see now. Memorials are dotted around the flower beds, trees and willow-fringed duck pond. James Joyce, Oscar Wilde and W.B. Yeats are just some of the famous names commemorated, while the Three Fates smugly measure the thread of humanity's destiny from their fountain at Leeson Street Gate. Free concerts are held on summer days in the bandstand.

St. Patrick's FestivalMar 12th, 2010 to Mar 17th, 2010
The event starts with a night parade winding its way through the city. Be prepared for fire breathing monsters, giants and creatures of the night, as the parade offers a heady mixture of bands, pageants, carnival costumes and pageantry. If you feel like joining in, take part in the Monster Céili in St Stephen's Green. It is arguably Ireland's biggest street theatre carnival, with an impressive fireworks display round up the events. Because of the increased popularity of the event, the number of days dedicated to the festival have been increasing over the years. Check the website for updated event information and schedules.
