The Day on the Glen at Emerald Glen Park is a fantastic event that both brings residents of Dublin together in celebration of our fine city and functions as a showcase for all that Dublin has to offer. This year’s event is expected to attract 18,000 to 20,000 residents and visitors over the Saturday and Sunday period (9/20-9/21). Here are just a few of the activities, attractions, and adventures at this year’s Day on the Glen:

  • City Hall Tent – find out about all the services offered by the city and ongoing and future development projects. The City Hall Tent will feature City Staff and members of our City Council.
  • Petting Zoo and Animal Exhibits – visit the petting zoo and wild animal shows and exhibits.
  • Live Music and Dancing – the headliner for this year’s event is Santana percussionist Pete Escovedo. There will also be Polish, Indian, West African, Brazilian, and Irish dancing on the International Stage.
  • Booths – many of the booths will be hosted by Dublin-based businesses. This will be a great chance to support and learn about our local businesses.
  • Sports Competitions – there will be a teen skateboard competition for the elite skateboarders from throughout the Bay Area. Additionally, there will be a volleyball tournament for adults and basketball tournament for nearly all age groups.

Please check out the official website for more details. This week’s question is – What excites you most about this year’s Day on the Glen?

    Hi Anonymous – there won’t be any fireworks this year. Last year’s fireworks show was to celebrate Dublin’s 25th anniversary as a city.

    Thx, John Z.
