St. Patrick’s Day & Night - 17th March

From 12pm on Friday 17 March, St. Patrick’s Festival Quarter will be a hive of free events, happenings, music, song and dance for people of all ages as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in style!

Join us for the hugely popular Céilí Mór, featuring Dearbhla Lennon & her Traditional Irish Dancers with The Shandrum Céili Band plus Féile na Gealaí, Japanese Taiko Drummers, Music Generation Laois Trad Orchestra, Imlé and Llareggub Brass Band from Wales, and loads more.

We’ve got a full Festival families programme happening on site as well with Tumble Circus, Candlelit Tales and the Fingal Mummers, Curious State, Professor Plunger, Guido Fanzini, Mark the Science Guy, the Actual Reality Arcade, and mini funfair!!

If you’re starved and thirsty after a morning’s Parade watching, we’ve got the best in Irish Street Food at our St Patrick’s Festival Quarter Food and Drinks Village, to make sure you and the family are well fed and have enough fuel in the tank for all of the fun and divilment taking place throughout the day!!

And as St. Patrick’s Day turns into St. Patrick’s Night, live music will echo across the legendary grounds of the National Museum of Ireland Collins Barracks as we celebrate our incredible traditional Irish music artists including Kíla + Brass Band, The Bonny Men, Jiggy, Saltaire, Pólca 4, Paahto & the Bull, Cairde Ceoil, Choice Music Prize nominee Junior Brother, and The Latchikos. Dance the night away in Celtic style with the Trad Rave DJ on the Clarke Square Bandstand & lots more!
