THOSE who don't make it to the JFK can toast the US at the Phoenix Park on Sunday July 7th when the second annual Stars and Stripes Barbecue takes place in the beautiful old, walled, orchard garden of the ambassador's residence. Its in aid of The Big Issues Social Initiative which helps the homeless and the unemployed.
Tickets are £25 for adults and £5 for children. The garden will become a sort of wild west and the US marines will organise games. Hamburgers, hot dogs and apple pie will be served and The Corrs will play.
