Dublin City Council would like to remind the public that Car Free Day is back!
As part of European Mobility Week 2024, Car Free Day is returning to the city this coming Sunday September 22nd from 11am-4pm.
The streets of Custom House Quay will be taken over with cycling skills workshops, games, live entertainment and an outdoor cinema amongst many other activities, as it closes to motorised traffic.
Car Free Day is hosted as the culmination to European Mobility Week, an annual event by the European Commission for Sustainable Urban Mobility. Each year there is a different theme and this year is focusing on designated spaces for citizens to congregate and enjoy their environment in a more community focused and sustainable way. With 70% of Europeans living in urban areas, Car Free Day is encouraging the conversations and demonstrations on the importance of cultivating these spaces within our urban environments.
Speaking about the event, the Deputy Lord Mayor Donna Cooney said “I’m delighted to welcome Car Free Day back to Dublin. As a European Capital city with a thriving urban environment, we are also committed to being Climate Neutral by 2030. It’s imperative that Dublin be accessible by all forms of transport; not just motor vehicular. Car Free Day affords us a great, fun way to explore different, more sustainable ways of getting around our fair city. I am urging all Dubliners to come out and enjoy Custom House Quay for Car Free Day which is also the last day of European mobility week. Whether your choice of transport is wheeling, walking or cycling, hopping on a bus, Luas or DART, we would really like people of all ages to take some time out and enjoy a family friendly car free day”.
