Splatter

Dublin's Splatter is a free multicultural end-of-summer festival with live cultural and child-friendly performances, interactive art, a World Craft Bazaar, food, and carnival rides and games. The 2026 event is September 12 from noon to 8:30 p.m. at Emerald Glen Park, ending with a drone show.

Festival admission is free; carnival attractions require tickets. That split matters when budgeting for kids who will want rides.

Arrive with a ride-ticket budget decided in advance, and stake a viewing spot before the drone finale if that is the night's goal.
