This year’s Dublin festival of History will run from 25 September to 15 October 2023, with our Big Weekend at the Printworks, Dublin Castle from Friday 29 September to Sunday 1 October.

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 eleventh 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.
