Parnell Festival of Roses

About the event

Girl among the roses.

The Parnell Rose Gardens will come alive on Saturday, 31 October and Sunday, 1 November for the Parnell Festival of Roses.

Set amongst the colour and vibrancy of newly bloomed roses, this free family festival will feature live music, fine food, poetry, actors, craft stalls and much more.

The festival goes beyond the Rose Gardens.

Head to the Parnell Farmers' Market for breakfast before buying your seasonal produce, baked foods and artisan goods.

Visit the Parnell Road Markets where the street will be festooned with roses and shops will be selling a range of fantastic products at irresistible prices, with street stalls, music, and entertainment for children.
