Cork City’s St Patrick’s Festival of music, fun, and food kicks off today in a three-day spree expected to attract 100,000 spectators.

*It’s a typically seasonal forecast for St Patrick’s Day — cold weather with sunny spells and showers — but that won’t stop tens of thousands of people from taking to the streets for celebrations this weekend.

Dowtcha boy! Pass ‘Go’, like, then do Pana, do not collect a snack box from Lennox’s, do a legger round the Lough, and go straight to jail.
