So don't miss it. The fest starts from 16th March and ends on 20th March 2011.

Saint Patrick's Day (Lá Fhéile Pádraig in Irish) is celebrated by Irish and non-Irish alike. It is also called St Paddy’s Day, Patrick’s Day and Paddy’s Day. You will see most of the people coming from various multicultural backgrounds wearing green clothing and Irish symbolic items like shamrocks, leprechaun hats, etc:-

Named after Saint Patrick (AD 387- 461), Patrick’s Day is celebrated every year on 17th March and is a public holiday. All over the world, Irish people gather in their traditional Irish dress fashioned with a green horizon. Families go out together, visit heritage and art centres, attend masses, participate in sports events and attend the St Patrick’s Parade and engage in other festival events and competitions like the Treasure Hunt. It is also one of the most busiest and profitable days for pubs and hotels as celebrations include mass alcohol consumption with singing and dancing. The festival in Dublin showcases Ireland art, heritage and culture.
