While the main event is on Saturday, we want to make the most of our time with everyone who has traveled across the Atlantic. We are currently scouting the best Dublin snugs and brunch spots to host you.
Here is the general plan so you can coordinate your travel.
Friday, October 9: The Welcome Pint
To kick off the weekend, we will be hosting informal welcome drinks on Friday evening.
- The Vibe: Casual and “come as you are.”
- The Plan: We’ll pick a central Dublin pub where we can gather, grab a pint, and say hello before the big day.
- Time: Likely starting around 7:00 PM or 8:00 PM to allow those landing on Friday to drop their bags and join us.
Sunday, October 11: The Guinness Storehouse
After a day of dancing and (let’s be honest) some pub-crawling, we’re closing out the weekend in proper Dublin style.
We’re hosting everyone at the Guinness Storehouse for a self-guided tour through the home of Ireland’s most iconic pint — and the Guinness Academy, where you’ll learn to pour one yourself.
- Time: 3:00 PM
- Location: Guinness Storehouse, St. James’s Gate, Dublin 8
- Sign up by: September 10, 2026 — we need a headcount to confirm tickets with the venue

Should I book my own plans?
If you are only in Dublin for a few days, feel free to use your Friday morning and Sunday afternoon to see the sights!
Our “Before & After” events are designed to be low-pressure. We’ll provide the location and a window of time, and you can drop in for twenty minutes or stay for two hours.
Check Back Soon: We will update this page with specific bar and restaurant names in early 2026 once we have our final headcounts and reservations confirmed!
Traveling Before or After?
If you’re planning to head to the West Coast (Galway, Kerry, etc.) or up to Northern Ireland, we recommend doing so starting Monday, October 12th. This ensures you don’t miss any of the weekend fun in the city!
