All events are free and there will also be a talk on `Futuristic Balllymun', looking at the area's 1960’s fashion, photography and architecture while The Knitting Bomb is `a youth arts project that is knitting for Marriage Equality'.
Roundabout Youth Theatre perform scenes telling the story of Ballymun’s community through the eyes of Ballymun Shopping Centre’s customers and staff.
Standing On Ceremony presented by Acting Out features nine short plays by leading American playwrights including Neil LaBute, Moises Kaufman and Paul Rudkin exploring the effect of marriage on LGBT couples with `a mix of humour, pathos and righteous indignation'.
