Celebrating St Patrick’S Day In Dublin

Every year, the day of March 17th heralds the beginning of many celebrations throughout Ireland – and the world – to commemorate Saint Patrick; the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland.

Saint Patrick is credited with introducing Christianity to Ireland, with most of what is known about him being drawn for his two major works, the Confessio, a spiritual autobiography, and Epistola. There is no certainty about why St Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17th, though a common belief is that this is the date on which he died.

In Ireland it is typical for almost all businesses to close on St Patrick’s Day. As it is a religious holiday, many Irish people attend mass to offer prayers for missionaries worldwide before the rest of the celebrations commence.

If you’re thinking of celebrating St Patrick’s Day in style then why not travel to the heart of all the action and visit Dublin? There is plenty to see, do and take part in, whilst celebrating St Patrick’s Day in Dublin adds an air of authenticity to proceedings.

The largest celebration to take place in Dublin is St Patrick’s Festival. The festival usually lasts over six days and offers a wide range of attractions and events that are of interest to people of all ages.

The festival parade takes place on St Patrick’s Day itself and is a traditional type of event that all the family can enjoy. In the run up to the day itself there are several music and film events, as well as cultural highlights, carnivals, street performers, comedy and family centred activities; including a funfair and treasure hunt.

The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down either, as there are many evening activities to keep you occupied.

Ireland’s national holiday is certainly enjoyed in style with parties, parades and celebratory events. Spread over several days with around 4000 performers and 1 million people, it certainly is an experience not to be missed. What’s more, a lot of the events taking place are free of charge, so you can still enjoy the festivities when on a budget.

If you wish to take a break from the St Patrick’s Day celebrations and want to explore the city itself, you won’t be stuck for choices. Dublin’s elegant Georgian terraces merit further investigation, whilst the museums provide further insight into the history of the country. The cosy and welcoming bars for which Dublin is renowned also provide a welcome respite from the city streets.

Of course, as with any holiday it can prove beneficial to plan your trip well in advance. One of the ways to get across the water is by taking one of the many Irish ferries that sail to Ireland, which can provide a nice smooth journey while you look forward to the celebrations to come.

Therefore, if you aren’t doing anything come 17th March this year, it might be on the agenda to head across the water to Ireland and see how they celebrate over there. In fact, it may even start up a regular annual trip.
