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.

Inspired by Irish myths and legends, and boasting a colourful mix of street theatre, outdoor food markets, crafts, music, culture, and the ‘greening’ of prominent buildings for the occasion, the 2014 St Patrick’s Day Festival is expected to be one of the best in the event’s eight-year history.

The highlight, the St Patrick’s Day Legends Parade, will be streamed live online from 12.30pm on corkstpatricksfestival.ie.
