St Patrick's Week in Galway City
Galway City
12 März 2011 - 17 März 2011
2011 marks the 108th anniversary of the Galway St Patrick's Day Parade. Pipe bands, dance groups and performance artists come from all over the world to Galway each year to experience a parade that is widely regarded as one of the best in Ireland. The Parade will be the finale of a series of events in Galway City beginning on Saturday, 12th March. There will be theatre performances, street events, art installations and music concerts to celebrate the national holiday and the Briton who brought Christianity to Ireland. The beauty of the Galway Parade is that it is small enough to truly feel a part of, yet big enough, to create a special atmosphere. Up to 50,000 spectators line the streets of Galway City each year and some of the narrow streets create an intimate cauldron that is an unforgettable experience for all participants. The Parade route moves through the centre of the medieval City, a 2.5 km (1.5 mile) journey through narrow cobbled streets, turning onto long, wide streets. The Parade route is thronged with spectators from start to finish, creating a non-stop carnival atmosphere. See our website for further information.
