Ireland's national festival of St. Patrick starts today and will run through the weekend until Sunday 20th March. As the one national holiday that is celebrated in more countries around the world than any other, St. Patrick’s Day is the day when everyone wants to be Irish. If you are, or happen to be in Ireland at the moment, then you're in luck! The festival has a packed calender of events encompassing, film, music, comedy, culture, games and family entertainment, as well as the annual impressive firework production Skyfest, this year taking place in Wexford.
The highlight as always is the St. Patrick's Day Parade which takes place on Thursday starting at . This year's Grand Marshall is Dublin boxer and national hero Katie Taylor. The theme of the parade is based around the short story 'Brilliant' written by Irish author Roddy Doyle for the festival. The story follows the children of Dublin as they try to chase the 'Black Dog of Depression' from Ireland. Doyle's story (available to download here) is apt in its portrayal of Ireland as a people under a dark cloud. The upcoming festival offers some relief from this; it is hoped that a proud and cheerful green will replace black, for the weekend at least. If you are Irish, in Ireland, or just up for the craic, make sure you get it this weekend! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Looks like another great St. Patrick's Day went down yesterday! Enjoy the rest of the Festival weekend :)
ReplyDeleteAt age 24, Alvarez has established himself as a marketable commodity within the boxing community. He’s not a crossover star in United States. Nor is he an elite fighter. In ESPN’s most recent pound-for-pound poll, not one panelist gave him a top-ten vote. De La Hoya, by age 24, had won an Olympic gold medal and beaten the likes of Julio Cesar Chavez and Pernell Whitaker. And let’s not forget what happened when Canelo fought Floyd Mayweather two years ago.
