St Patrick s Festival 2021.
St Patrick’s Festival is understandably going to be a little different this year, but that’s not to say the team behind the festival hasn’t created an amazing, world-class programme of events for us all to enjoy, at home here in Ireland and for our Irish family across the globe. Dúisigh Éire! Awaken Ireland! is this year’s theme, a clarion call to the Irish across the world to throw off the long, dark months and rise to embrace the brighter days ahead. It promises to be a positive and uplifting celebration of our incredible people, our beautiful island, our community bonds, our young people, artists, creators and makers and our diaspora across the world.
While others have opted to use their government Live Performance Support Scheme grants to stage gigs to audiences of just 15 people, Crown Live in Wexford are taking a different approach as they use their government funding to film shows with nationally renowned artists for streaming on Facebook.
The scheme brought forward by the Department of Arts and Culture aims to create employment for those working in the entertainment industry, from performers to sound engineers, lighting crews, promoters and videographers. The funding was granted to venues who committed to staging gigs before the end of the year and The Crown Live has now revealed the line-up for its series of virtual gigs.
