Crowds:
Crowds trample Dingle'scharm throughout JulyandAugust.The absolute crazi-
est times are during the Dingle Races (early Aug), Dingle Regatta (early to mid-Aug),
and the Blessing of the Boats (end of Aug or beginning of Sept). The first Mondays in
May, June, and August are Bank Holidays, giving Ireland's workers three-day week-
ends—and ample time to fill up Dingle. The town's metabolism (prices, schedules,
activities) rises and falls with the tourist crowds, so October through April is sleepy,
windy, and chilly.
