St Patrick's Day Festivals Around The World

 


St. Patrick's Day is one of the best holidays on the calendar and not just because they sell beads and green beer at every corner in Ireland. The celebration of Irish heritage and culture is celebrated worldwide through various events, parades, parties and festivals. St Patrick's Day is celebrated in Ireland, but there are many countries around the world that mark this special occasion as well!

If you're looking for something fun to do on St Patrick's Day, why not try one of the many global celebrations? You'll be able to experience the festivities around the world and then share your experiences with other people who are also looking for something new to do.

Dublin, Ireland

In Dublin, St Patrick's Day is celebrated with a day of dancing, drinking and general merriment. The city's streets are filled with revelers dressed in green clothes and sporting shamrocks.


The Irish capital is also home to one of the world's largest St Patrick's Day parades, which sees thousands of people line up on O'Connell Street to watch marchers dressed as leprechauns and other mythical creatures.

St Patrick's Day is celebrated throughout Ireland on 17 March, but the best celebrations take place in Dublin.

New York City, USA

New York City's St. Patrick's Day festivities are the most popular in the country, with more than 1 million people expected to attend the parade. The city hosts a number of events, including Irish festivals and parades, street fairs, and other celebrations.


The New York Times recently included St. Patrick's Day in its annual list of top ten holidays for Americans, calling it "the one day everyone in America gets dressed up to celebrate."

Chicago, USA


The city of Chicago is known for being one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world. It is home to many different cultures, including Irish, Polish, African-American, and Chinese. As a result of its diversity, Chicago hosts many festivals around St. Patrick's Day. One of the most popular is "Irish Fest," which takes place in Old Town Chicago on March 17th (and 18th). The festival features live music from local bands and DJs; food vendors; a beer garden; and more!

Boston, USA

Boston, USA is one of the most popular places to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Boston has a rich history as one of the first cities in the United States to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, and it still holds that tradition today.



The city of Boston is home to many Irish Americans, who have been settling here since the 17th century. Today, almost half of Boston's population is foreign-born - 
from Ireland, England, Scotland, France and elsewhere in Europe (and even Africa). The fact that so many people can trace their roots back to this same place makes it easy for them to connect with one another and create organizations which celebrate St Patrick's Day together every year at local pubs like The John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library or at universities like Harvard University where there are always parties for students on campus!

There are also plenty of events planned throughout the week before March 17th including parades down Boston's famous Fenway Park where fans gather around the Green Monster seats to watch their favorite sports teams play baseball games against each other (or against other teams from nearby cities like New York City).

Sydney, Australia

The Sydney Festival is a celebration of all things Irish. This year's theme is "Celebrate the Spirit of Ireland" and it runs from March 20th to June 17th. The festival takes place in the Botanic Gardens and will feature live music, dance, theatre and art exhibitions. There are also many opportunities for people to learn about Irish culture and history through workshops and lectures.

There are a number of events taking place throughout the festival including St Patrick's Day at the Sydney Opera House on March 15th with free admission for everyone! There is also an Irish Festival at Darling Harbour where you can enjoy food stalls, live music and more!

London, UK

St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17th. The festival originated in England and has spread throughout the world. London is home to many of the world's best St. Patrick's Day festivals and events, including Hyde Park's annual parade and the Chelsea Flower Show.

The Chelsea Flower Show is one of the biggest in the world, with more than 5 million visitors every year. It features everything from flower competitions to musical performances and even a Guinness World Record attempt!

Montreal, Canada

Montreal is the largest city in the province of Quebec, and it's known for its French-speaking culture. The city was founded by French settlers in 1642, and it's been an important part of Canada from that time forward. It's also one of the most multicultural cities in the world, with more than 70 different languages spoken by its residents.

There are many festivals and events in Montreal throughout the year, but one of the most popular celebrations is St. Patrick's Day on March 17th. This festival has been celebrated since 1829 when Irish immigrants began immigrating to Canada. Today there are more than 1 million people who celebrate this day with parades, parties, and feasts!

Tokyo, Japan

The Tokyo St. Patrick's Day Festival is a staple of the Irish calendar and one of the most beloved festivals in Tokyo and for good reason.

The festival is held on March 17th and features parades, music, and food from around the world. The event is organized by the Irish and Irish-American communities in Japan, and it includes a parade through Shinjuku, where you can find plenty of Irish pubs and restaurants.

The festival also features live music performances at Shinjuku's famous beer hall and dance parties hosted by locals.
