The Dublin Festival of History will run from 27 September to 13 October 2024, with our Big Weekend at the Printworks, Dublin Castle from Friday 27 September to Sunday 29 September.

The Dublin Festival of History is an annual free festival, brought to you by Dublin City Council, and organised by Dublin City Libraries, in partnership with the Dublin City Council Culture Company.

Now in its twelfth year, the festival has built a reputation for shining a fresh perspective on history and its importance in our everyday lives, attracting best-selling Irish and international historians to Dublin for a high-profile programme of history talks and debate each Autumn.
