Bloomsday in Ringsend 2024- THANK YOUS

 

In June 2024 the Ringsend and District Historical Society organised the annual Bloomsday Festival in Ringsend. It was a tremendous success with large crowds at every event. As an organising committee we would like to offer our sincere thanks to the volunteers who helped at the events, the participants, those who attended each of the events and importantly the businesses who sponsored the various events. Without all of you Bloomsday in Ringsend 2024 would not have been the success it was.
