St. Patrick's Day 2022

14 Márta 2022

St Patrick’s Day Fun with Irish Rail

Towns and cities around Ireland are gearing up to celebrate St Patrick’s Day this week. With festivities returning to the "new normal" following uncertainty over the COVID-19 situation in Ireland and abroad, families are looking forward to celebrating together at parades and other events up and down the country.

Our national holiday falls on a Thursday this year with an additional public holiday on Friday 18th March. This means we have a long, long weekend in store. It’s the perfect opportunity to book your ticket to explore a new destination or revisit one of your favourite haunts. The toughest decision will be which to choose…

Dublin (Dublin Connolly/Dublin Heuston)

The biggest St Patrick's Day party on earth will take place around Dublin city. Running over five great days and nights, the St Patrick’s Festival has something for everyone. You can enjoy some great music from the Festival Quarter at the National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks. And of course, the highlight of the festival will be the extraordinary parade that will wind its way around the streets of the city from 12 noon on St Patrick’s Day.

With road closures and traffic diversions throughout the weekend, the most relaxing way to enjoy all the activities is by rail. Rediscover the joy of the train and check out our low fares for all the family.

For a change of scenery, hop on the DART to Bray over the weekend. The coastal town has five days of family friendly activities planned, including a funfair and plenty of live music. Find out about using a Leap card on the DART and save money on your travel.

Cork (Kent)

The Cork St. Patrick's Festival is jam packed with activities for everyone.

Central to the Cork St. Patrick's Festival is the St. Patrick's Day Parade. Cork's parade features members of communities from all walks of life across the city - sporting groups to dance schools, new communities, long-established brass bands, and special guests from around the world.

This year’s parade takes place on Tuesday 17th March at 13:00. It’s going to be a vibrant, colourful spectacle and a fitting way to finish off the party. 

Galway (Ceannt)

Galway will have a St Patrick’s Day parade in 2022 for the first time in 3 years, with what is shaping up to be the largest St Patrick’s Day spectacle the city has ever seen. Galway City Council has organised a series of events over the course of the extra long double bank holiday weekend in March from 17th to the 20th March, to celebrate Ireland’s national holiday

Limerick (Colbert)

The fun and craic associated with the Limerick St. Patrick’s Festival makes a welcome return to the city streets following a COVID-enforced absence of two years. The Limerick St. Patrick’s Festival will include the traditional St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Thursday 17 March, the Limerick International Band Championship taking place this year on Sunday 20 March along with a host of other family-friendly events!

Waterford (Plunkett)

The St. Patrick’s Day Festival will run for three fun-filled days from 17th – 19th March 2022 in Waterford City. To celebrate Waterford winning Ireland’s Best Place to Live, the St. Patrick’s Day Festival will celebrate all those things that make Waterford such a great place to be. The city is easily accessible for families to enjoy the festivities. With an array of shopping & dining choices in the City, our St. Patrick’s Day Festival gives you an extra opportunity to experience what Waterford has to offer.

Sligo (MacDiarmada)

After two years apart, the Sligo St Patricks Festival Committee is delighted to announce that we will be gathering together again for the 2022 parade.

The theme for this year’s parade is one simple word: TOGETHER. After all we have been through since March 2020, this is a great opportunity to mark a special day in our annual calendar of events for Sligo town on March 17th.
