St Patrick's Festival 2027 runs from Saturday 13 to Wednesday 17 March in Dublin. The full events schedule, including parade times and route, will be published in January 2027.
What is St Patrick's Festival?
St Patrick's Festival describes itself as the largest celebration of Irish culture and heritage in the world. Over five days, Dublin hosts concerts, céilís, street performance and family events, building up to the national parade on 17 March, which draws hundreds of thousands of spectators.
How do you travel in Dublin for St Patrick's Day?
The parade route through the city centre closes to traffic, and many surrounding streets are restricted. Your chauffeur will drop you within walking distance of a good viewing area and meet you afterwards outside the closed zone. The same weekend, Ireland play France at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday 13 March, so the city will be especially busy.
Planning your visit
- Check the parade route when it is published in January.
- Book grandstand seats early.
- Choose a pick-up point away from O'Connell Street.
- Reserve restaurants and pubs well ahead.
