St. Patrick's Day Parades
St. Patrick's Day, the day of the Irish - and the rest of the world, it seems.
Many profess to 'have a little bit of Irish' in their blood, so it is no wonder that St. Patrick's Day has become such a massive celebration.
If you're in Ireland or the UK and want to join in with the 'luck of the Irish', then check out our guide to some of the celebrations happening near you.
Dressing up for St. Patrick in Dublin
Dublin: 12th - 17th March 2009
Ireland's capital city puts on one big party in honour of St. Patrick. And we wouldn't expect anything less. Head to Dublin for a jam packed 6 day festival including comedy, family treasure hunts, plus Irish music and film showings.
On March 17th, Dublin will also play host to a parade through the city streets, with marching bands and theatre companies creating a carnival feel to the day.
For more information on both the Parade, and other festival events at the Dublin St. Patricks Day website.
London: 15th March 2009
The stage is set for Trafalgar Square to host London's Irish celebrations. Irish entertainers will bring music, dance, comedy and storytelling to revellers and traditional irish food will also be available. Of course, if you want to taste a pint of Ireland's most famous export, Guinness, then there are plenty of Irish pubs in the area, including Waxy O'Connors.
