About Ireland 

The magnificent scenery of Ireland’s Atlantic coastline covers a 2,000-mile area of ocean, and the geographic isolation has helped develop a rich heritage of culture and tradition linked to the Gaelic language. The country's extensive grasslands create a unique green-hued landscape that created the popular Emerald Isle. Ireland is renowned for its abundance of folkloric presence through oral tradition, from tales of leprechauns to the patron saint, Patrick, to the living tradition of folk music. From the serene countryside to the bustling towns, members will experience the history, the tradition, and the culture in a special new way.

About the St. Patrick's Day Parade

St. Patrick's Day honors St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. The holiday has evolved into a festive celebration of Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, and a LOT of green! From the first recorded parade in 1601, the tradition has evolved into what it is today - a 2.5 Kilometer parade route through Dublin, Ireland. Bands from Ireland are joined by music ensembles from around the world, including France, Germany, the Bahamas, Switzerland, and the USA, fueling the excitement through upbeat music. The procession of a variety of marching bands, colorful pageants, whimsical theatrics, and lively performances characterize the celebratory nature of the festival and will be an experience that attendees will highly enjoy and remember.
