🌅 Love Éire Singles Sunset Cruise & Festival Welcome PartyFriday 4 September 2026 · Dublin City → Dún Laoghaire

You haven't missed your boat yet! 🚤

This is the opening night of Love Éire 2026 — a three-day Weekend Matchmaking Festival bringing singles together for a weekend of connection, adventure, matchmaking and fun.

We'll start getting to know each other on the boat, with a drink, music, easy icebreakers and fun get-to-know-you games as we cruise from Dublin City towards Dún Laoghaire.

Then we'll arrive around 9:00 PM, walk together to our evening venue and continue the night with food, games, socialising and live music at the Love Éire Festival Welcome Party.
