St. Patrick's Festival is a vibrant and lively celebration that takes place annually in Ireland, especially in Dublin, to honour St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. The festival usually spans several days, featuring a variety of events and activities, including parades, concerts, street performances, and cultural exhibitions.

One of the highlights is the St. Patrick's Day Parade, a colourful and lively procession through the streets of Dublin, showcasing elaborate floats, marching bands, and performances. The city comes alive with a festive atmosphere, and many people dress in green to participate in the celebration.

In addition to the parade, you can expect live music performances, dance shows, and a multitude of cultural events that celebrate Irish heritage and traditions. It's a fantastic time to experience the warmth and friendliness of the Irish people while immersing yourself in the rich cultural tapestry of the country. Whether you're Irish or not, St. Patrick's Festival is a great excuse to join the party and celebrate all things Irish!

The parade starts across the street from the Castle Hotel on Parnell Square.
