Patrick’s Day is all about. There’s a St. Patrick’s Day celebration to be found on every corner of every county in Ireland on the day that honors this country’s patron saint, but you might want to focus on Ireland’s capital, Dublin, especially since it is the nation’s official celebration for the holiday. From March 13–17th the streets of Dublin are flooded with music, dancing, and even street theater and public art shows; there are over 4,000 performers and one million people participating. Finally, the celebration culminates with the biggest St. Patrick’s Day parade of them all. Starting down in the City Center at Parnell Square, the two-hour parade entertains the Irish and non-Irish alike. There are local and international bands and performers truly showing that St. Paddy’s Day has become a worldwide holiday.
