Car Free Day

On Sunday the 22nd of September, Custom House Quay will go car-free as part of European Mobility Week, which runs from the 16th to the 22nd of September 2024. From 11am to 4pm, Custom House Quay will be closed to motorised traffic to demonstrate the environmental and health benefits of a more sustainable urban mobility culture.

The theme of this year’s European Mobility Week is “Shared Public Space”, which focuses on designated spaces for citizens to congregate and share their environment. With 70% of Europeans living in urban areas, it is important to cultivate these spaces within our urban environments. This is a free event for the whole family with lots of fun activities, including bike and e-bike trials, cargo bike demos, cycling workshops for children, and a live BMX stunt show.

Attendees will also have an opportunity to watch outdoor short film screenings, participate in a Chess Challenge, take part in walking tours of the campshires along the north quays, as well as enjoy a visit to the Custom House Visitor Centre. Bring your family and friends for food, fun, music and for children there are street games, face painting and lots more!

Car Free Day is brought to you by Dublin City Council.
