The Maritime Festival

Once a year, in June, a large selection of tall ships visit the Dublin's main river, the Liffey, in the Docklands. I went to this festival last year, it is pretty impressive. There are some tens of tall ships, selected among the most beautiful tall ships in Europe, travelling town to town, gathering thousands of people. The best point is that you can really board the boats, and for free ! You can of course fill the "tip box" if you enjoyed the visit, in order to encourage its occupants. This festival is also the opportunity to discover (or rediscover) the food from other countries, like this very particular "grass shot" I drank this day... a "one in a life" opportunity !
