Dublin Racing Festival 2024
The 2024 Dublin Racing Festival will be special with large crowds and fabulous racing and entertainment lined up for the weekend. Held in 2024 on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th February at Leopardstown in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains this is your chance to witness some top class contests over two fabulous days on one of Ireland's premier racecourses.
The Festival weekend includes 14 races with 8 Grade 1 contests. In our humble opinion the Dublin Racing Festival is the best two day race meeting in Ireland.
Always attracting very large crowds on both days and regarded as one of Ireland's best race weekends The Dublin Racing Festival never fails to deliver a great race fan experience. With the premier Irish jump races over the weekend and plenty of entertainment, food, fashion and fun going on in the background there is something for all to enjoy. Highly recommended.
