St. Patrick's Day

Each year, on and around 17th March, the Irish national day - St. Patrick's Day - is celebrated all around the world.

St. Patrick's Day is a global celebration of what it means to be Irish; the spirit, the determination, the creativity and the indefinable something that makes us who we are.

On the occasion of St. Patrick's Day, the Embassy hosts a reception and is usually involved in various other special events within the Irish community, in business communities, or with others, to promote Ireland and celebrate the national day.
