St. Patrick’s Day

Saint Patrick's Day is an annual cultural and religious event observed on March 17th to commemorate the death anniversary of Ireland's patron saint, Saint Patrick. The holiday also marks the introduction of Christianity in Ireland and is a celebration of all things Irish.

Since 1996, a full festival of parades, fireworks, and general merriment has enveloped the St. Patrick's Day celebration on March 17th. Celebrate Irish heritage and culture by enjoying traditional song and dancing, seeing musical street theater acts, drinking some beer, and dressing up in all green. Different towns and cities have their own distinctive and spectacular street parades and festivals, but St. Patrick's Day in Dublin is the most popular.
