Here in Excel Recruitment, we love nothing more than enjoying our city. With a plethora of eateries to choose from, the standard across Dublin and Nationwide continues to evolve when it comes to dining, drinking and event curation. This June bank holiday weekend sees the Bloom festival take place in The Phoenix Park. However, we’ve concentrated on the Bloom Fringe, for pure innovation and also how they are organising free events across the weekend.
Now in its second year the BloomFringe Festival sets to take the magic of Bloom in the Phoneix Park to various locations across the City between May 30th and June 1st. Bloom Fringe is motivated by themes of creativity, community and healthy living and is not-for-profit. Here are our picks across the day that you can enjoy for free in the City Centre.
South Great Georges Street Pop Up : Guerilla Garden Pop Up
About: Bloom will transform the famous “WhyGo Bald” square into a popup garden in the heart of Dublin city for #BloomFringe Fest weekend only – showing it is possible to turn gritty concrete corners into an oasis of green.
Pop-up Performances, Food, Demonstrations & Art installations – all FREE across from the Pop-up Garden at the ‘Why Go Bald” Square!…

A Very Peachy Temple Lane Takeover : Temple Lane South (Beside KC Peaches, Temple Bar)
Temple Lane South will be getting a very Peachy takeover into the spirit of BloomFringe on May 30th .
This very cool corner of Temple bar will be occupied by guerrilla action as it turns into a pop up green space for the day. Lookout for Pop-up munchies by KC peaches and Peachy street art installations to tag yourself with and for all to partake in. Considering the success of the debut Peachy exhibition this one is not to be missed and perfect for kids
Lookout for Tea tasting by Wall & Keogh, juice shots and those much needed healing-massage-ready hands from Melt , all waiting to entice you into this much loved alley for the day…
