If you want to explore Dublin in the sunshine, the best time to visit is during the summer. Make the most of the warm weather by picnicking in the parks, enjoying the outdoor festivals and kayaking along the Liffey, the river that runs through the city.

Festivities include a parade, street theatre and walking tours, and take place over several days.
