Dublin St Patrick's Day Events in Dublin

St. Patrick's Day, commencing on the 17th of March is Ireland's national holiday held in recognition of Ireland's Patron Saint St. Patrick. St. Patrick was the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland who is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. Although predominantly an Irish national holiday, St Patrick's Day is a globally recognised event celebrated across the world.

To mark the anniversary of St. Patrick's Day, Dublin will once again play host to the St. Patrick's Day Festival which has been running annually for the past six years. The principal aim of the St. Patrick's Festival, since its induction, has been to develop a major annual international festival around the national holiday over which the owners' of the festival, the Irish people, would stand proud. This year Dublin City is going green for St. Patrick's Festival! To celebrate Ireland's national holiday Festival organisers have launched an initiative called Greening the City,' asking all businesses and venues to turn their lights green to create a city-wide illumination for the duration of the event

At its heart, the festival sets out to reflect and demonstrate the talents and achievements of the Irish people on national as well as world stages. Furthermore, the festival acts as an exciting showcase for the manifold skills of the people of Ireland, of every age, gender and social background.

From the 17th of March to the 20th there will be a wide range of events to suit all tastes, ranging from family activities to pub activities. For the first time ever, Nobel prize winning Irish poet Seamus Heaney will be gracing the stage at Dublin Swell where he and many of Ireland's best loved names from literature, music, film and theatre will be celebrating Dublin's designation as UNESCO City of Literature

Finally, the most eagerly awaited and arguably the highlight for many of the St. Patrick's Day Festival is the St. Patrick's Parade itself which will be launched from Parnell Square, Dublin 1 at 12:00PM.
