The event includes live music, children’s entertainment, climbing activities, arts and crafts, environmental exhibits and fitness sessions.
The Biodiversity Village will feature organisations including Eco-UNESCO, Clean Coasts, Kildare Wildlife Trust, Irish Wildlife Trust and Seal Rescue Ireland. The festival will offer free Yoga and Tai Chi sessions, a climbing wall, axe throwing, and visits from the Dublin City Council Library Bus. A managed bicycle parking facility will operate at Mount Prospect Avenue, supervised by the Dublin Cycling Campaign.

The festival coincides with the peak blooming season of the Rose Garden, allowing visitors to experience thousands of roses in full flower.
