"Dublin: An All-American Anniversary"

To celebrate Dublin's "All-America City" honor and the city's 30th Anniversary of incorporation, the City of Dublin will be putting on a special event - “Dublin: An All-American Anniversary” – at the Dublin Heritage Park and Museums on Saturday, July 21, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. 

Dublin families are invited for a quintessential American experience.  In addition to providing a feast of all American foods, such as hot dogs, apple pie, and root beer (while supplies last), there will be activities such as sack races, a watermelon-eating contest, and water balloon tosses; kid-friendly activities like face painting, inflatables, and wagon and tractor rides; and a variety of American music, with performances by both folk musicians and a local blues band, featuring Zakiya Hooker, daughter of blues legend John Lee Hooker.  Dignitaries from Dublin's past will also be on hand to share fond recollections from their time in Dublin, and they’ll unveil a recently-discovered piece of Dublin's history.
