Celebrate St Patrick's Day with a trip to the Emerald Isle

Be a part of the wonderful festivities this St. Patrick’s Day and celebrate with a trip to the Emerald Isle. See Ireland truly come alive with an explosion of fun and entertainment that’s sure to rival any carnival street party with lavish parades, street theatre and music galore.

Try your luck in the wild west of Galway – this seaside city will this year be hosting its 105th St Patrick’s Day Parade and the carnival atmosphere always draws strong crowds. Performers from all over the world will boost the entertainment, and when the parade is over find a place to eat in the city that has more restaurants per capita than any other Irish city.

Experience the wonderful charm of Ireland and the Irish in Cork. The newly refurbished Cork City centre has attractive shopping boulevards, restaurants and pubs. With over 600 retail outlets located around Patrick Street you will be spoilt for choice. Cork is renowned for its cuisine - indulge in some of its famed delights at Barry’s Tea Market held in conjunction with Mahon Point Farmers Market on Emmet Place.

St Patrick’s Day in Dublin has a phenomenal five days and five nights of celebrations to contend with, starting from 13 March until the actual day on 17 March. From the opening night celebrations to the parade on the last day, there is certainly a lot to keep punters amused in between. On Monday 17 March dust off your dancing shoes for the Céilí Mór – a great opportunity to dance along to the sounds of the Kilfenora Céilí Band.
