“City landmarks turn green, it’s a national holiday for the entire country and Guinness flows faster than it does all year. As well as parades, you can take part in the world’s largest outdoor céilí. St. Patrick’s Day is the day when everyone wants to be Irish.”
The St. Patrick’s Day Festival in Dublin came in 34th place in top 50 rankings by Big7 Travel, beating out Carnaval in Brazil and coming in right behind Glastonbury in England.
Organizers said more than half a million people lined the streets of Dublin on March 17, 2019, for the St. Patrick's Day parade that featured some 3,000 marchers.
