Kick off the St Patricks day celebrations in the metropolis, yes Dublinnia.
Check out the free art exhibitions, documentaries, walking tours around Saint Patrick’s cathedral and outdoor céilis (blessed be the weather) right in the city (make sure to practice your Siege of Ennis and Walls of Limerick beforehand).
Nibble your way through some craft food and drink your way through the whiskey and beer lakes throughout the weekend.
And if you left your green glasses at home, have no fear, many of the city’s iconic buildings will be lit up in forty shades. of green
Merrion Square and the Custom House throw off their more formal fronts and don their green party frocks as the city is filled with all the fun of the fun fair. Roll up, roll up.
Later you can shake your shamrocks in St Stephen’s Green . You can get jiggy with it in your laced up hornpipes (and keep warm if the weather turns).
The city will be smattered with street performers of all types.
And of course, there’s the big one, with the Festival Parade from Parnell Square through the city to Saint Patrick’s Catheral with plenty of bands, puppets (not muppets) and floats from across the world.
