St. Patrick's Festival
St. Patrick's Festival, Ireland, established by the Government of Ireland in November 1995, [1] is a major tourist attraction, aiming to showcase a modern and creative Ireland, [2] and has since developed into a multi day celebration which takes place annually on and around March 17, St. Patrick's Day - the national holiday of Ireland.
