This year many tourism sites around the County will go green for St Patrick’s Day including Killashee Hotel, Kildare Village and St Brigid’s Cathedral and Round Tower.
The Hill of Allen, the keep at Barberstown Castle, Ardclough Visitors Centre, the gates at Moore Abbey Woods and Castletown House are also set to be lit up in green. Joining in the celebrations is the entire Main Street in Naas, and of course Naas Ball will once again turn green.
The theme of St Patrick’s Festival this year invites us to embrace brighter days ahead. As Kildare goes green, we are joined by world famous Irish landmarks as well as global icons such as the Sydney Opera House, the London Eye and Niagara Falls being illuminated as part of Tourism Ireland’s Global Greening Campaign.

Countries from around the world are going green as part of Tourism Ireland’s Global Greening initiative for St Patrick’s Day 2021.
From humble beginning back in 2010, when just the Sydney Opera House and the Sky Tower in Auckland went green, the annual event has grown into a green-hued extravaganza.
This year will be the biggest ever Global Greening event with around 670 sites in 66 different countries taking part. From Rome to Rio and from London to Las Vegas, a host of famous buildings and sites around the world will be turning a shade of green over the coming days.

Ireland is about to mark the biggest ever Global Greening – as 66 countries prepare to shine their best-loved monuments in emerald light to show solidarity with Ireland on St Patrick’s Day.
While the Irish at home and abroad may not be able to mark the March 17 how they’d envisaged, there will be no shortage of merriment and reminders of global friendships on St Patrick’s Day. An eclectic display of 670 sites will be lit up green for March 17, as part of Tourism Ireland’s global greening event.
Among the more eccentric examples are the Tilted Sauna, also dubbed the ‘Drunken Sauna’ – an abandoned facility, tilted on its side on Tampaja Lake, in southern Finland.
