If you too dream of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland, the original home of the festival, then it’s already time to get started!
September is the perfect time to start planning the event, and do things the easy way.
This time, it’s certain: Saint Patrick’s Day 2025 will have a real taste of Ireland, and organizing it now will allow you to enjoy it without breaking the bank!
So why celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland rather than elsewhere? Firstly, because St. Patrick’s Day is 100% Irish. Scheduled every March 17, it’s the country’s national holiday…
And fun fact: it’s one of the few national holidays to be celebrated to such an extent in other countries around the world!
Because St. Patrick’s Day has been exported just about everywhere (thanks to Irish emigration in the 19th century), and over time has become an almost universal celebration across the globe!
But while a St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York or Sydney is fabulous, St. Patrick’s Day has a very special flavor in Ireland!
Because it’s here, in Dublin, Galway or in small country villages, that the Irish saint is celebrated in the most authentic way!
Parades, parades, packed Irish pubs, stout flowing uninterrupted in the pints of revelers…
St. Patrick’s Day is absolutely unique when celebrated in its ancestral homeland.
Let’s face it: every year, St. Patrick’s Day attracts thousands of travelers to Ireland from Europe, the USA and the rest of the world.
Everyone flocks to celebrate the holiday of the year!
Whether in Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Galway or the countryside, the event is unforgettable!
That’s why you need to plan as far in advance as possible!
Because rates go up fast, and accommodation, flights and ferries are quickly saturated by demand!
So get ahead of the game: don’t hesitate to look into booking options now!
