Colourful St Patrick’s parades ready to launch

Dublin has gone green for Patrick’s Day, with festivities culminating in a street party tomorrow, expected to attract more than 500,000 spectators. 

The fun began at the weekend with buildings and landmarks turning green for the occasion, including the GPO, the Four Courts, Guinness Storehouse and even the Spire.

The main event occurs tomorrow, of course, with Dublin’s St Patrick’s Day parade, brought to life by Ireland’s leading pageant companies. Bands from Ireland, the US, and Germany will perform.
