on offer – music, street theatre, family
carnivals, comedy, street performances, dance, a
treasure hunt, night spectacles …. culminating
on Monday March 17th with the world famous St.
Patrick’s Day Parade. Over five days, 4000
performers and 1 million people will be
celebrating Ireland. So whether you are Irish or
just wish you were, Ireland is the place to be
