Every year in March, Dublin’s visitors and locals alike are treated to a unique and unforgettable experience: the St Patrick’s Festival. It celebrates St. Patrick’s Day (an Irish Christian festival held on March 17 each year) over five action-packed days, featuring the Dublin Grand Parade, concerts, shows and street entertainment! A must if you’re in the area!
The streets of Dublin come alive with street performances, concerts, open-air theater and the unmissable parade, which attracts spectators from all over the world. The atmosphere is electric, with artists and musicians from all horizons sharing their talent and contributing to the spirit of community and festivity.
In addition to the parade, the festival offers a host of cultural activities, from traditional craft workshops and storytelling sessions to art exhibitions and Irish film screenings. Visitors have a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in Irish culture, learning more about its rich history and centuries-old traditions.
Gastronomy also plays a key role in the festivities, with markets offering local specialities and culinary delights to delight the taste buds. Between a slice of soda bread and a tasting of Irish whiskey, festival-goers can truly taste the soul of Ireland.
The St Patrick’s Festival is also a time for reflection and communion, recalling the values of Saint Patrick: unity, faith, and the celebration of diversity. It’s an opportunity for everyone, Irish by birth or by heart, to come together and share a moment of joy and national pride.
For those planning to visit Dublin during this period, it’s advisable to plan ahead. The influx of visitors is substantial, and the experience will be all the better with a little organization, especially when it comes to finding accommodation and choosing which events to attend.
Please note that these concerts are ticketed and can be booked directly on the festival website: stpatricksfestival.ie.
It’s also possible to reserve a seat in a VIP tribune so you can watch the Grand Parade in Dublin from the front row. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy the show without the hustle and bustle, and to get a great view of the parade!
