The Best Places to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day
Dublin
In Dublin, the St. Patrick’s Day festivities usually last an entire long weekend. In 2019, they’re scheduled to start on March 15 and run through the actual holiday on the 17 to the morning of the 18.
During this festival, many of the buildings around the city are lit up in green lights, and buskers and performers take to the streets to entertain the hordes of people walking by. There are boat races on the River Liffey, an official treasure hunt organized by the festival, and Irish dancing at the Festival Céilí. The Temple Bar district is by far the most popular place to drink. Plus, it’s only a short walk away from the Guinness Storehouse.
With all these festivities, Dublin tends to get extremely busy, so go with a small group of friends to avoid getting separated.
