Splatter, the City of Dublin's end-of-summer festival, returns to Emerald Glen Park on Saturday, September 12. New this year, the festival kicks off with the Splatter Color Dash, a colorful morning run or walk where participants get doused in vibrant color along the course, before the multi-cultural festival begins at noon. Celebrating food, art, music, and dance from around the world, Splatter will conclude with Good Time Collective, a high-energy evening dance party concert beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Admission to the festival is free; however, there is a charge for children's carnival rides. Splatter is known for its fun, family-friendly art activities; unusual art installations; live, multi-cultural music and dance performances; and a World Craft Bazaar. An art exhibit, "The High Life," featuring the work of exceptional art students, will also be on display in The Wave.
