St. Patrick's Festival was established by the Government of
Ireland in November 1995.
The principle aim of St. Patrick's Festival, since its
inauguration, is to develop a major annual international festival around the
national holiday over which the 'owners' of the festival, the Irish people,
would stand proud. It sets out to reflect the talents and achievements of Irish
people on many national and world stages, and it acts as an exciting showcase
for the manifold skills of the people of Ireland, of every age and social
background.
As the one national holiday that is celebrated in more countries
around the world than any other, St. Patrick's Day is the day when everyone
wants to be Irish. However, it was a strange fact of life that the celebrations
held in Ireland for St. Patrick's Day prior to 1996 paled in comparison to those
held abroad, especially when one considers what an ideal opportunity the day
represented to showcase Ireland and Dublin to the world.
We set out to seize that opportunity, and completely transform
the national and international perception of St. Patrick's Day in Dublin. This
country is bursting with the kind of creative energy, ideas and enthusiasm
required to do the job. Our job has been to harness them, and make our national
holiday an unforgettable experience for all.
The countdown is on...St.
Patrick's Day is only days away and that can only mean one thing...
Ireland's largest annual party, St. Patrick's Festival will be in full swing
from March 15th - 19th 2006.
