St. Patrick’s Festival 2019 – Dublin’s “Greening the City”

Everyone’s a little bit Irish on St. Patrick’s Day...even the buildings of Dublin! As part of the five-day St. Patrick’s Day Festival iconic buildings in Dublin will literally go green

Since the Irish government launched the “Global Green”, an initiative that sees over 360 tourist attractions around the world lit up green over the March festive period it seems only fitting that the Irish at home celebrate in kind.

As part of the St. Patrick’s Festival,  inspired by the world’s nod to the Irish, Dublin is lighting up its landmarks especially for St. Paddy’s Day during the five-day celebration running from March 14 – 18.
