Saint Patricks Day

17th March is the biggest day in the Irish calendar it's the day when the nation's naturally high levels of exuberance and hospitality go off the scale as the Ireland celebrates its patron saint.

Throughout Ireland festivities are enjoyed and glasses are raised in honour of St Patrick, the man who banished the snakes from Ireland, established shamrocks as the national emblem and almost single-handed converted the Irish to Christianity.

Some 50 million people worldwide will join the celebrations on 17th March. There'll be parades in New York, in Chicago they'll dye the river green, in Brazil they'll fuse Irish Dancing with Samba and even as far as Moscow and Tokyo the streets will be turned green, white and orange.

But if you want to experience the real story of St Patrick and enjoy the celebrations in his old stomping ground, then Ireland is the place to come and there are plenty of St Patrick's Day celebrations, carnival parades and cross community festivals to choose from or why not take our St. Patricks Day Tour.
