What A Difference A Day Made
May 24 @ 11:00 am – 7:00 pm
Celebrate the difference the YES vote made with a free community festival on Saturday May 24th in Collins Barracks!
Whether you voted Yes, shared a post, had a conversation that mattered, or simply felt the change the 2015 Equal Marriage Referendum brought — this celebration is for you.
If you got married because of that vote, bring your partner, your friends, your family — everyone who was part of your journey.
If you’re younger, new to Ireland, or weren’t here at the time, come see what it meant, and be part of what comes next.
This is a celebration of love, progress, and community — and everyone is welcome.
Celebrate the difference the YES vote made.

Visiting the Museum
The National Musem – Collins Barracks will remain open to the public all day. If you are visiting the museum, there’s no need to book a ticket.
