Fingal welcomes architecture festival with inspiring public tours

Fingal County Council is proud to continue its support for Open House Dublin, Ireland’s largest architecture festival, which will take place from 10 to 18 October 2026. A diverse programme of complimentary tours focusing on flagship buildings, alongside engaging creative activities for children and families, will highlight the region's rich built environment and dynamic public realm.

Now celebrating its twenty-first anniversary, the festival operates under the inspiring theme 'Dublin is Living', inviting the public to explore the compelling stories and innovative designs shaping our communities. County Architect Fionnuala May highlighted that this year's schedule will showcase newly delivered housing schemes alongside treasured historic landmarks such as Ardgillan Castle and Newbridge House.

Irish Architecture Foundation Director Emmet Scanlon emphasised that the vibrant visual campaign champions the vital relationship between people and place.
