11.00am-
Stop by Grand Café atThe Grand Central Hotelfor some delicious breakfast or pastries to start off your day, situated on Bedford Street, right behind City Hall, it’s the perfect spot to fuel up for the day’s activities.

Temperature depending, you may prefer to watch the parade from the tallest bar in Ireland.
