Events to photograph this Saturday?

dinneenp

Hi,
I'm in Dublin this Saturday for the Ireland match and have Saturday morning and most of afternoon free.
Are there any good events please; I'm looking for something to photograph, something sports, or an event with people, I'm not choosy. I like abstract, architecture, symmetry, sports, most stuff....

I know there's a few skateboarding parks, would any of them be busy Saturday (hopefully as it's the weekend).
Are there any BMX events/meetings on this Saturday?
Where are the best markets on?
Anything else to recommend? currently my plan is to go to Dollymount Strand, photo the Poolbeg chimneys and then just wander/cycle around town and photograph anything I like.
Thanks in advance,
Pa.

If you were around Sunday there's a bike week celebration in St Anne's Park Raheny

Temple Bar market is probably busiest in town.

Thanks but heading home Sunday.
I'll check out the market if I'm in town. (probably will be).

If you contact Joerg at Dublin Free Events Guide he might be able to point you in the direction of some good events. He normally posts a full list each week on a Friday (it can some times run into Saturday the list is pretty big!).

If you are going to photograph the eyesores chimneys in Poolbeg then you'll have a much better composition from the Sandymount side rather that Dollymount. Even better if you drive to the South Bullwall and walk to Poolbeg lighthouse.
