What’s Happening in
Ireland? ~ Every St
Patrick’s Day, communities from Belfast to Cork on this
national holiday showcase their Irish pride and celebrate the patron saint of
Ireland through a range of events, bringing the world together to experience
that famous Irish spirit.
St. Patrick’s Festival returns to the streets of Dublin
in spectacular fashion, with its biggest parade ever, as well as across the
city from the 15th – 18th March.
Meanwhile in Armagh, the Home of St. Patrick’s
Festival celebrates the saint’s roots in Northern Ireland with
a lively online program of culture, comedy, music and dance.
No matter where you are, St Patrick’s Day is a time to don
some green clothing, dust off your festive spirit and prepare to fill your
heart with Ireland! ~ Courtesy of

Why Green? ~ It is widely accepted that green is
associated with St. Patrick’s Day because of the shamrock, which is
Ireland’s national symbol, as well as Ireland's rich history of using green as
a symbol of rebellion.
