Dublin is home to the largest and most popular St. Patrick's day festivities on the planet. 675,000 tourists and Irish people lined the streets of Dublin last year to witness the parade and celebrate the feast day of St. Patrick on March 17th.

It's the only time of the year where everyone is expected to wear green, and party like a leprechaun for 6 days straight. The festival begins on 12th and runs until 17th of March and with each day brings a new experience whether it be a treasure hunt, a walking tour of Dublin, a stiletto heel dash, a dance at a traditional ceilí or following an art trail through the city.
